Acts 28 is the twenty-eighth (and also the last) chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It records the journey of Paul from Malta to Italy until finally settled in Rome. The book containing this chapter is anonymous, but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke.

The original text is written in Koine Greek and is divided into 31 verses. Some most ancient manuscripts containing this chapter are:

This chapter mentions or alludes to the following places (in order of appearance):

In the New King James Version, this chapter is sub-divided as:

The Pulpit Commentary noted that "the terms here used are all professional ones. Greek: Πυρετός, in the plural, is of frequent occurrence in Hippocrates, Aretaeus, and Galen, but elsewhere in the New Testament always in the singular; Greek: δυσεντερία, only found here in the New Testament, is the regular technical word for a "dysentery," and is frequently in medical writers coupled with Greek: πυρετοί or πυρετός, as indicating different stages of the same illness.

The Ethiopic version of Acts adds after "Paul went in to him and prayed", "and he entreated him to put his hand upon him" meaning either that Publius asked this favour of the apostle for his father, having heard of the affair of the viper, from whence he concluded there was something divine and extraordinary in him; or the father of Publius asked this for himself.
