Prisoners » Kindness to » By julius, the centurion
When it was decided we were to sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to an officer of the Imperial regiment called Julius.
When we did reach Rome, Paul got permission to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
Next day we put in at Sidon, where Julius very kindly allowed Paul to visit his friends and be looked after.
For two full years he remained in his private lodging, welcoming anyone who came to visit him; he preached the Reign of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ quite openly and unmolested.
