Acts 28:11-16
Modern English Version

Paul Arrives in Rome

11 After three months we sailed in an Alexandrian ship whose figurehead was the Twin Brothers, which had wintered at the island. 12 Landing at Syracuse, we waited there for three days. 13 From there we circled around and sailed to Rhegium. After one day the south wind blew, and the next day we arrived at Puteoli. 14 There we found brothers, and were invited to remain with them for seven days. And so we went to Rome. 15 From there, when the brothers heard of us, they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius[a] and the Three Taverns[b] to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage. 16 When we arrived at Rome, the centurion handed the prisoners over to the captain of the guard. But Paul was allowed to remain 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.
