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.
