I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

11. It was three months after the shipwreck that we set sail on another ship that had wintered at the island ⏤ an Alexandrian ship with the twin gods as its figurehead.
12. Our first stop was Syracuse, where we stayed three days.
13. From there we sailed across to Rhegium. A day later a south wind began blowing, so the following day we sailed up the coast to Puteoli.
14. There we found some believers, who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome.

15. The brothers and sisters in Rome had heard we were coming, and they came to meet us at the Forum on the Appian Way. Others joined us at The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them. he was encouraged and thanked God.

16. When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to have his own private lodging, though he was guarded by a soldier.
Acts 28:11-16 NLT
