ACTS 28:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.”
There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. - At Puteoli, Paul finds 'some brothers and sisters' (adelphoi, adelphoi-the Christian community) who invite them to 'spend a week with them' (epimeno hēmeras hepta, epimeno hēmeras hepta-'stay seven days'). This brief note says much: a Christian community already exists at Puteoli (probably arrived via earlier missionary activity or trade), and they welcome Paul as fellow believer and apostle. The week's stay shows community fellowship before the final journey. 'And so we came to Rome' (houtōs eis Rhōmēn, houtōs eis Rhōmēn)-after 28 chapters and two years of narrative, Paul reaches the capital. Jesus's promise (23:11) is fulfilled.
