Paul Sails for Rome

27 When it was decided that we^(A) would sail for Italy,^(B) Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.^(C)

⁴⁰ Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns^(A) until he reached Caesarea.^(B)

The Faith of the Centurion^(A)

⁵ When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. ⁶ “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed,^(B) suffering terribly.”

⁷ Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

⁸ The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.^{(C) 9} For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

¹⁰ When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.^{(D) 11} I say to you that many will come from the east and the west,^(E) and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.^{(F) 12} But the subjects of the kingdom^(G) will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”^(H)

¹³ Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.”^(I) And his servant was healed at that moment.

⁴³ But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life^(A) and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.

³¹ Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”^(A)
