But in my opinion he has done nothing deserving death. However, since he appealed his case to the emperor, I have decided to send him to Rome.

Festus conferred with his advisers and then replied,“ Very well! You have appealed to Caesar, and to Caesar you will go!”

In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment.

But the officer in charge of the prisoners listened more to the ship’s captain and the owner than to Paul.

There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome.

Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.

The Roman officer and the other soldiers at the crucifixion were terrified by the earthquake and all that had happened. They said,“ This man truly was the Son of God!”

That night the Lord appeared to Paul and said,“ Be encouraged, Paul. Just as you have been a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the Good News in Rome as well.”

In fact, my visit to you has been delayed so long because I have been preaching in these places.But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there.For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem.They were glad to do this because they feel they owe a real debt to them. Since the Gentiles received the spiritual blessings of the Good News from the believers in Jerusalem, they feel the least they can do in return is to help them financially.As soon as I have delivered this money and completed this good deed of theirs, I will come to see you on my way to Spain.And I am sure that when I come, Christ will richly bless our time together.

When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him,“ Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.”Jesus said,“ I will come and heal him.”But the officer said,“ Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say,‘ Go,’ and they go, or‘ Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves,‘ Do this,’ they do it.”When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said,“ I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!

So we decided to leave for Macedonia at once, having concluded that God was calling us to preach the Good News there.

You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

Greet all your leaders and all the believers there. The believers from Italy send you their greetings.

When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to have his own private lodging, though he was guarded by a soldier.

There the commanding officer found an Egyptian ship from Alexandria that was bound for Italy, and he put us on board.

When the Roman officer overseeing the execution saw what had happened, he worshiped God and said,“ Surely this man was innocent.”

But the commanding officer wanted to spare Paul, so he didn’t let them carry out their plan. Then he ordered all who could swim to jump overboard first and make for land.

When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked,“ What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!”

He immediately called out his soldiers and officers and ran down among the crowd. When the mob saw the commander and the troops coming, they stopped beating Paul.

But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.

And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline:

All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him,‘ What do you mean by doing these things?’

Afterward Paul felt compelled by the Spirit to go over to Macedonia and Achaia before going to Jerusalem.“ And after that,” he said,“ I must go on to Rome!”

Paul called for one of the Roman officers and said,“ Take this young man to the commander. He has something important to tell him.”

They said,“ We were sent by Cornelius, a Roman officer. He is a devout and God fearing man, well respected by all the Jews. A holy angel instructed him to summon you to his house so that he can hear your message.”

You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.

He ordered an officer to keep Paul in custody but to give him some freedom and allow his friends to visit him and take care of his needs.

At that time the highly valued slave of a Roman officer was sick and near death.
