Acts 28:16

Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

1. Now, they arrive in Rome. The centurion that has overseen these prisoners from Caesarea - through all the travels, ships, stops, shipwreck, and final arrival is ready to be relieved of his duty.

2. All of the prisoners were secured in Rome.

3. However, Paul is allowed to live under "house arrest" outside the prison.

4. The indication is that a single soldier was guarding the house. Paul was not a flight risk.
