About this place
Malta is an island in the Mediterranean Sea mentioned in the New Testament in connection with the apostle Paul's journey to Rome. After Paul's ship was caught in a violent storm, it ran aground on a sandbar near Malta (Act.27.39-44). Paul and the other survivors made it safely to shore, where they were welcomed by the islanders (Act.28.1-2). During his three-month stay on Malta, Paul healed the father of Publius, the chief official of the island, as well as many others who were sick (Act.28.7-9). The kindness shown by the people of Malta to Paul and his companions exemplifies the hospitality that Christians should extend to others (Act.28.10).
