What the Bible Says
- “Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house” Acts 28:30
Each year here fits these numbers, as the years between the points they count from.
The Years
- Began AD 63
- “he remained in his own hired house two whole years”
- Ended AD 65
- “Paul preacheth the Gospel in the Isle of Crete”
Ussher has him set free after the two years (Philippians 1:25-26; Philemon 1:22), to preach in Crete (Titus 1:5), and taken again later (2 Timothy 1:8).
Dated by Archbishop James Ussher’s Annals of the World (1658), quoted as printed, whose dates were printed in the margins of King James Bibles for two centuries.
