Today's Scripture: Acts 27:27-38
Insight
The journey from Jerusalem to Rome consumed about three years of Paul’s life, beginning with his arrest in Jerusalem—which happened all the way back in Acts 21:27! That arrest wasn’t prompted by Paul’s actions but by those of his Jewish countrymen who had rioted. His arrest nearly resulted in a flogging (Acts 22:25–29) and generated a series of trials before Roman-appointed officials—none of whom found Paul guilty of anything (Acts 26:30–32). As was his right as a Roman citizen, Paul appealed his case to Caesar, and that choice set him on the journey that would include the shipwreck events in Acts 27:1-44.
