From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them seven days. So we came to Rome.
15
From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Sha'ul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16
When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Sha'ul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17
It happened that after three days Sha'ul called together those who were the leaders of the Yehudim. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Yerushalayim into the hands of the Romans,
18
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19
But when the Yehudim spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20
For this cause therefore I asked you to see and to speak with me. For because of the hope of Yisra'el I am bound with this chain."
21
They said to him, "We neither received letters from Yehudah concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22
But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."

When they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number. He explained to them, testifying about the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Yeshua, both from the law of Moshe and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
