Acts 28

This is the last chapter in Acts. They arrive at the island and are met with great hospitality. Near the fire as Paul is helping with the wood, a snake bites him and all the islanders think poorly of Paul as if the snake was an act of god against something bad Paul has done. However, Paul doesn't get sick or die from the snake, so instead the islanders think Paul is a god.

The chief official of the island shows the entire crew great hospitality in his giant estate. His father is sick, and Paul prays over him and he is healed. People hear of this and bring all the sick to Paul and are cured. It is said that the islanders honored the crew in many ways and even provided them with the supplies they needed when they finally sailed from the island. When they finally get to Rome, Paul is greeted by brothers and sisters who heard Paul was coming. They traveled a great distance to meet Paul at Rome. Though a prisoner, Paul was allowed to live by himself under the supervision of a soldier as a guard.

Paul calls together the local Jewish leaders to explain why he is in Rome, but the local Jewish leaders hadn't heard from anyone about Paul and the accusations against him. The Jewish leaders are interested in hearing about what Paul has to say, so Paul explains to them about Jesus and explaining Jesus from the Old Testament scriptures. Some believed and some did not. Acts ends telling us how Paul stayed in a rented house for two years inviting those who came. He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about Jesus.
