Acts 28:11-16

International Children’s Bible

^10-11 The people on the island gave us many honors. We stayed there three months. When we were ready to leave, they gave us the things we needed.

Paul Goes to Rome

We got on a ship from Alexandria. The ship had stayed on the island during the winter. On the front of the ship was the sign of the twin gods.^{[a] 12} We stopped at Syracuse for three days and then left. ¹³ From there we sailed to Rhegium. The next day a wind began to blow from the southwest, so we were able to leave. A day later we came to Puteoli. ¹⁴ We found some believers there, and they asked us to stay with them for a week. Finally, we came to Rome. ¹⁵ The believers in Rome heard that we were there. They came out as far as the Market of Appius^[b] and the Three Inns^[c] to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and thanked God.

Paul in Rome

¹⁶ Then we arrived at Rome. There, Paul was allowed to live alone. But a soldier stayed with him to guard him.
