⁷ Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

⁸ And the father of Publius was ill, with a disease of the stomach; to whom Paul went, and put his hands on him, with prayer, and made him well.

⁹ And when this took place, all the others in the island who had diseases came and were made well.

¹⁰ Then they gave us great honour, and, when we went away, they put into the ship whatever things we were in need of.

¹¹ Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

³¹ Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ without fear, and no orders were given that he was not to do so.

²⁰ And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

²¹ And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

² And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.

¹³ And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.

³⁰ And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?

⁷ And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.

⁸ Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.

¹⁷ From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.
