Chapter 28 - In Malta, Paul was bitten by a viper and did not die, he
heals a leading island man which sparked a vast group who was healed.
They were there for three months, they were well provisioned and sent
on their way to Rome. He has another trial but there is no evidence
except Paul’s telling of the gospel story. The story concludes with Paul
staying under house arrest for two years teaching about Jesus Christ
with boldness and without hindrance.

Death of Paul - The date of Paul's death is believed to have occurred
after the Great Fire of Rome in July 64, but before the last year of Nero's
reign, in 68. According to several Church Fathers and apocryphal books,
Paul was beheaded in Rome by orders of Nero. Wikipedia

Background |
Background by the Center of Biblical Studies.
The Book of the Acts of the Apostle is Luke volume 2.
The starting point is the Ascension of Jesus, the coming
of the Holy Spirit (which is the founding of the Church),
and Peter and Paul featured in the missionary movement
of the Church. About midway through the book, the case
changes from them to us. It is an adventure in what various
Apostles go through in getting the word out on Jesus. Based
in the Roman Empire of the middle east and west Asia and
Europe. The Church struggles to figure out what they are;
what to do with non-believers; and how to live out the
freedom of God’s grace in Jesus Christ as led by the Holy Spirit.
