Acts 28:11-16

New International Reader's Version

Paul Arrives in Rome

¹¹ After three months we headed out to sea. We sailed in a ship from Alexandria that had stayed at the island during the winter. On the front of the ship the figures of twin gods were carved. Their names were Castor and Pollux. ¹² We landed at Syracuse and stayed there for three days. ¹³ From there we sailed to Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up. The day after that, we reached Puteoli. ¹⁴ There we found some believers. They invited us to spend a week with them. At last we came to Rome. ¹⁵ The believers there had heard we were coming. They traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw these people, he thanked God for them and was encouraged by them. ¹⁶ When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself. But a soldier guarded him.
