Paul, under guard travelled by ship to Puteoli and then by road to Rome. Groups of Christians met him along the way which encouraged him. He spoke to the Jews in the synagogue where a few believed and then spent time under house arrest speaking without hindrance. Acts 1:8 has been fulfilled.

Paul is transported to Rome by ship but in adverse weather conditions. On changing ships, it was decided to keep going. A storm hits the ship and eventually it is wrecked but all the people safely land on Malta - just as God had promised Paul.

After two years in prison, the Governor changes and Festus decides to re-try Paul in Caesarea. Paul, as a Roman citizen, appeals to Caesar and will be sent to the Supreme Court in Rome. King Agrippa II and his sister visit Festus.

In Caesarea, Paul is imprisoned. The High Priest, Tertullus and other Jews come to accuse in the legal court. Paul defends himself. Felix the Governor, hesitates to make a decision and Paul is kept in prison for two years.

A group of forty men plotted to assassin Paul but his nephew heard and went to Paul and the Roman commander who quickly organised a large protection party to escort him to Caesarea to go Governor Felix because Paul was a Roman citizen and has to have a fair trial.

Paul travels through Ptolemais to Caesarea where he meets up with Peter. Different forms of prophecy are mentioned. Fellowship is offered to Paul at every church community - even those he has not planted.

Paul travels to Miletus, bypassing Ephesus but calls the elders of the Ephesian church to meet him. He is concerned to train the leaders in the way they should lead the church - with humility and not seeking gain for themselves.

The writer, Luke, refers back to the Ascension of Jesus as a decisive point of change in the Apostles' spiritual journey.
