- Acts 28:11–28:16
Read Acts 28:14 with 28:11–28:16. In isolation, this contribution—finds believers who host the travelers seven days before Rome—can be mistaken for the scene's whole claim, detached from its speaker or narrator, or separated from its outcome. The complete unit establishes: After winter the party sails on an Alexandrian ship, receives hospitality at Puteoli, is met by Roman believers, and Paul thanks God before entering guarded private custody.
