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.

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.

Paul’s Arrival at Rome

11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship(A) with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. 12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. 13 From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. 14 There we found some brothers and sisters(B) who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. 15 The brothers and sisters(C) there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged. 16 When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.(D)
