But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar.

When these things were completed, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, Be of good courage, Paul; for as you have testified of Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.

And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.

Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go through you to Spain.

But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,

and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the Word without fear.
