Paul's ship first docks at Syracuse in Sicily, then sails to Rhegium on the toe of Italy, and finally travels to Puteoli near Naples. Throughout his journey, Paul has enjoyed the support of "the God of all comfort," which has helped maintain his zeal as a missionary.
Three days after docking at Syracuse, a beautiful Sicilian city rivaling Athens and Rome, the ship sails to Rhegium on the toe of the Italian peninsula. Then, aided by a south wind, the vessel makes the 175-nautical-mile (200 mi; 320 km) trip to the Italian port of Puteoli (near modern-day Naples) in optimum time, arriving on the second day.—Acts 28:12, 13.Paul is now on the final leg of his trip to Rome, where he will appear before Emperor Nero. From start to finish, “the God of all comfort” has been with Paul. (2 Cor. 1:3) As we shall see, that support does not diminish; nor does Paul lose his zeal as a missionary.
What route does Paul’s ship take, and what support has Paul enjoyed from the start?
