Paul's Voyage to Rome

c. AD 59-60

What Happened

Paul was sent by ship to Rome as a prisoner to stand trial before Caesar. The voyage was beset by a terrible storm and shipwreck on Malta, but Paul encouraged all aboard, and all 276 passengers survived, as God had promised.

Biblical Significance

Paul's journey to Rome demonstrates God's sovereign ability to accomplish His purposes through any circumstance. From prison, Paul wrote his most profound letters (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon), proving that chains cannot bind the Gospel.
