Acts 28:11-16
New Matthew Bible
11 After three months, we departed in a ship of Alexandria that had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was Castor and Pollux. 12 And when we came to Syracuse, we stayed there three days. 13 And from there we made a circuit and came to Rhegium.
And after one day, the south wind blew. And we came the next day to Puteoli, 14 where we found brethren and were invited to stay with them seven days; and so we went on toward Rome.
15 And from Rome, when the brethren heard of us, they came out as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and gained courage. 16 And when he reached Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the chief captain of the host. But Paul was allowed to dwell by himself, with one soldier to guard him.

1599 Geneva Bible
11 ¶ [a]Now after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the Isle, whose [b]badge was Castor and Pollux.
12 And when we arrived at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 And from thence we set a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day, the South wind blew, and we came the second day to Puteoli:
14 [c]Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days, and so we went toward Rome.
15 ¶ [d]And from thence when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us at the [e]Market of Appius, and at the three taverns, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and waxed bold.
16 So when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the prisoners to the general Captain: but Paul was suffered to dwell by [f]himself with a soldier that kept him.
