Paul’s Journey to Rome Map

The circumstances of Paul’s Voyage to Rome were far different than for his earlier travels. Before, he was a free man; this time, he was a prisoner of the Romans (Acts 21:27-26:32).

The Journey to Rome began in early fall of about 60 AD and ended the following spring of about 61 AD after a shipwreck near Malta. The entire voyage is recorded in Acts chapters 27 and 28.

After Paul’s arrival in Jerusalem at the end of his Third Missionary Journey, he became involved in a serious conflict with some “Asian Jews”. The conflict eventually led to Paul’s arrest by the Romans and imprisonment in Caesarea for two years. Finally, Paul sailed for Rome where Paul was to stand trial for his alleged crimes. Acts states that Paul preached in Rome for two years while awaiting trial.
