Acts 28:11-16
English Standard Version
Paul Arrives at Rome
11 After three months we set sail in (A)a ship that had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the twin gods[a] as a figurehead. 12 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days. 13 And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhegium. And after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. 14 There we found (B)brothers[b] and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome. 15 And (C)the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, (D)Paul thanked God and took courage. 16 And when we came into Rome, (E)Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.

Paul Arrives in Rome at Last
11 Now after three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered at the island, an Alexandrian one with the twin gods Castor and Pollux as its insignia.[a] 12 And putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days. 13 From there we got underway[b] and[c] arrived at Rhegium, and after one day a south wind came up and[d] on the second day we came to Puteoli, 14 where we found brothers, and[e] were implored to stay with them seven days. And in this way we came to Rome. 15 And from there the brothers, when they[f] heard the news about us, came to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns. When he[g] saw them, Paul gave thanks to God and[h] took courage. 16 And when we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.
