11 After three months we were able to leave on an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island. It was decorated with carvings of the twin ‘gods’. 12 We stayed three days when we arrived at Syracuse 13 and then we sailed on to Rhegium. The next day a south wind came so we sailed on to Puteoli 14 where we found some believers and they encouraged us to stay for seven days. Then we finally got to Rome. 15 The believers in Rome had heard about us, so they came to meet us at the Appius Market and the Three Taverns. Paul was encouraged to see them and thanked God.
