Acts 28:11-16

The Voice

^10-11 We stayed on Malta for the next three months and were treated with great honor. When spring arrived, we prepared to continue our journey on a ship that had wintered there—an Alexandrian vessel with the Twin Brothers as its figurehead. The Maltese people showed us a final kindness as we departed: they came with all the provisions we needed for our journey and put them on board.

¹² We set sail from Malta and stopped first at Syracuse. After three days, ¹³ we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. We waited there a day, and then a south wind sprang up and sped us to Puteoli. ¹⁴ We found some believers there, and they invited us to stay with them for seven days. Then we reached Rome. ¹⁵ The believers from Rome heard we were coming, so they traveled out to meet us at the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns. Paul thanked God and felt encouraged to see them. ¹⁶ Once inside the city, Paul lived under house arrest by himself, with only one soldier to guard him.
