Acts 28 · Grade 3

Teaching with Boldness

Name Date

Read the Story

After the shipwreck, they learned the island was called Malta. The people showed them unusual kindness. They made a fire because it was rainy and cold.

Paul gathered sticks for the fire. A snake came out because of the heat and held onto his hand. The people thought something bad would happen to him. But Paul shook it off into the fire and was not harmed.

The chief man of the island was Publius. His father was sick. Paul prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him. Then the other sick people on the island came and were cured.

After three months they sailed to Italy, and believers came out to meet Paul. Paul thanked God and took courage. In Rome a soldier guarded him. For two years Paul lived in a rented house. He welcomed everyone and boldly taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
