Acts 28:9-17

⁹After this happened, everyone else who was sick on the island came and was healed.

¹⁰They presented us with many gifts, and when we had to sail they provided everything we needed for the voyage.

¹¹After a three month stay we set sail aboard a ship from Alexandria having a figurehead of the Heavenly Twins that had spent the winter at the island.

¹²We stopped at Syracuse, and spent three days there.

¹³From there we sailed on to Rhegium. The following day a south wind blew, and on the second day we arrived at the port of Puteoli,

¹⁴where we discovered some believers. They asked us to stay with them for a week. So we came to Rome.

¹⁵When some of the believers from Rome heard we had arrived they came to meet us at the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he was thankful to God and much encouraged.

¹⁶When we entered Rome, Paul was permitted to stay under house arrest with a soldier to guard him.

¹⁷Three days later Paul invited the Jewish leaders there to come to see him. When they were all together he told them, “Brothers, even though I had not done anything wrong against the people or the customs of our forefathers, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Roman authorities.
