Stricter translations seem reluctant to even imply it's the meaning of the Greek, but after seeing it in the NIV, I found others that would corroborate being able to "take it that way" such as the NASB, plus a few others: Acts 28 implies St. Paul died around what we'd call [centuries later] Valentine's Day or STRICTLY ON Purim, and though it says he had 2yrs of unhindered ministry, comparing Luke's intent with the Gospel baring his name, the particular context of the prophecy cited from Isaiah that says to "say this" 'til the Temple in Jerusalem is destroyed, & Luke's style in talking about St. Paul, Luke's making Jesus and Paul the Alpha and Omega of the Gospel with Jesus having died in the 1st month of the Jewish religious calendar and Paul having died in the last month of the Jewish religious calendar at Purim, perhaps having been thought by the Jews of the day similarly to how Jesus was thought in Isaiah 53, that God was doing this to the man for his own sins and heresies, when in reality, it was the judgment of God on the sin of a people being executed.

St. Paul says his final statement, then that day or the morning after he's beheaded, perhaps, & while local Jews might be thinking whatever, in Judea it's another story with the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy St. Paul has cited with the destruction of the Jewish Temple.  This is later than some traditions and later than some historians may yet be comfortable with, but I'm satisfied from Acts 28 that we not only have the last thing St. Paul ever said, but that he was martyred on Purim in 70AD.  Gives the Acts CLOSURE instead of the normal assumption that Luke left a lot of things unsaid with intent upon a third volume that all of the new collections of ancient writings discovered over the last 70yrs never seem to include a copy of! Luke would have considered himself to have covered the era of the fulfillment of all of Jesus' prophesies by implicitly having made early Christianity revolve predominantly around 2 men, Jesus and Paul, the Esther and Mordecai of the New Testament, with Lord Jesus having been caught up to the Palace in the heavenlies as God's perfect and most beautiful representative of His people, and Paul having had the concern of the known world on his heart that he was the faithful intercessor for!
