Acts 18:21
21But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you aif God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.Acts 23:11
11 bThe following night cthe Lord stood by him and said, d“Take courage, for eas you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must ftestify also in Rome.”Acts 25:10-12
10But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s gtribunal, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you yourself know very well. 11If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. hI appeal to Caesar.” 12Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you shall go.”Acts 27:1
Paul Sails for Rome
1And when it was decided ithat jwe should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan kCohort named Julius.Acts 27:24
24and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; lyou must stand before Caesar. And behold, mGod has granted you all those who sail with you.’Acts 28:16
16And when we came into Rome, nPaul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.Acts 28:30-31
30He lived there two whole years at his own expense, ▼▼Or in his own hired dwelling
and pwelcomed all who came to him, 31 qproclaiming rthe kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ swith all boldness and twithout hindrance. Romans 1:15
15So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.Romans 15:23-29
23But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and usince I have longed for many years to come to you, 24I hope to see you in passing as I go vto Spain, and wto be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25At present, however, xI am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. 26For yMacedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27For they were pleased to do it, and indeed zthey owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. 28When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, ▼▼Greek sealed to them this fruit
I will leave abfor Spain by way of you. 29I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing ▼▼Some manuscripts insert of the gospel
of Christ.
