Paul Sails from Malta to Rome

¹¹ Three months later, we continued our sailing onboard an Alexandrian ship that had spent the winter at the island. It had the Twin Brothers^[a] as its figurehead. ¹² We stopped at Syracuse and stayed there for three days. ¹³ Then we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. A day later, a south wind began to blow, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. ¹⁴ There we found some brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. After this, we arrived in Rome. ¹⁵ The brothers there heard about us and came as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and felt encouraged. ¹⁶ When we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.
