About This Place

A Mediterranean island south of Sicily where Paul's ship ran aground during a violent storm (Acts 27-28). The islanders showed unusual kindness to the survivors. Paul was bitten by a viper but unharmed, and he healed the father of the island's chief official — leading many to believe.

The Final Chapter Nobody Expected

Paul survives a shipwreck, shakes off a venomous snake like it's nothing, heals an island full of sick people, and finally arrives in Rome — where he spends two years under house arrest, teaching anyone who walks through the door. The book of Acts ends not with a bang, but with an open door.
