Paul's Taken To Rome As A Prisoner

Paul Goes To Spain and Returns For Final Imprisonment

  1. Paul was under house arrest in Rome at the end of the book of Acts.
  2. In his prison epistle to the Philippians he seems to believe he will be released as soon as he hears a report of his case: “I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.  And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.” (Philippians 2:23,24)
  3. Paul also writes Philemon from prison and tells him to prepare a room for him in his home in Colosse: “And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.” (Philemon 22)
  4. Upon release Paul may have visited the churches in Macedonia and Asia and then headed for Spain or he may have left for Spain from Rome as he had planned when he wrote the Roman church in 57 AD: “I plan to do so when I go to Spain.  I hope to visit you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there . . . I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.” (Romans 15:24,28)
  5. According to Titus 1:5, Paul visited the Isle of Crete but left Titus there to work with the church.  Paul then tells Titus in 3:12 that he is planning on spending the winter (64-65 AD) in Neapolis, a Mediterranean resort on the coast.  It is likely Paul would have went to Corinth and wrote the epistle of Titus after dropping Titus off at Crete as he moved towards Neapolis. 
  6. In the spring of 65 AD Paul might have visited Philippi as he had said in Philippians 2:23,24.
  7. Paul writes his final letter to Timothy from his second and final imprisonment in Rome in 67 AD.  In this letter he gives some indication of where he had been during his final months before being arrested in Troas.  Paul mentions that everyone in Asia had deserted him (2 Timothy 1:15).  He says he had been in Miletus where he left Trophimus because he was sick (4:20).  He says that Erastus had stayed in Corinth. (4:20) Timothy himself seems to still be in Ephesus because he is asked to greet Priscilla and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus which is in Ephesus.(4:19;1:16,18)
  8. Finally, Paul asks Timothy to come to him in Rome before winter sets in. (4:21)  Paul also asks for his cloak and his papyrus scrolls (letters and New Testament documents) and parchments (Old Testament and other valuable scrolls) that he had left in Troas. (4:13)  It would seem these are things that Paul would not have forgotten but something had interrupted his plans.  In this case it might have been his arrest and imprisonment.
  9. Paul was executed by decapitation be Nero’s orders either in winter of 67 AD or in the spring of 68 AD.
