Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Acts 28 - Introduction

Paul, after his shipwreck, is kindly entertained of the barbarians: the viper on his hand hurteth him not: he healeth many diseases in the island: they depart towards Rome: he declareth to the Jews the cause of his coming: after his preaching, some were persuaded, and some believed not: yet he preacheth there two years.

Anno Domini 63.
