At last, Rome

Italy · The story continues

After three months, the travelers sail from Malta by Syracuse and Rhegium to Puteoli. Believers come out to meet Paul on the road to Rome. Under guard, he welcomes visitors and teaches about Jesus with boldness.

Acts 28:11–16, 30–31

The final connection groups several sea and land stages; it is not a complete itinerary.

You might be wondering...

Was Paul free when he arrived?

Acts 28:16 says he was allowed to live by himself with a soldier guarding him. He could receive visitors and teach, but he remained in custody.

How does Acts end?

It ends with Paul welcoming visitors and proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about Jesus Christ with boldness and without hindrance (Acts 28:30–31).
