TSK · Acts 27:1

The LORD’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.

There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the LORD which will stand.

All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he wishes with the army of heaven and with those who inhabit the earth. No one slaps his hand and says to him,‘What have you done?’

Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said,“Truly this one was God’s Son!”

Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said,“Certainly this man was innocent!”

They said,“Cornelius the centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message from you.”

There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome. Paul approached them,

He immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When they saw the commanding officer and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said,“Have courage, for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”

He ordered the centurion to guard Paul, but to let him have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from meeting his needs.

But I found that he had done nothing that deserved death, and when he appealed to His Majesty the Emperor, I decided to send him.

But the centurion was more convinced by the captain and the ship’s owner than by what Paul said.

When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.

Greetings to all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.
