This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 28:14. Παρεκλήθημεν ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς) The sight of brethren was a consolation to us [Engl. Vers. takes παρεκλήθημεν differently]; and it led us to stay seven days. Here also the kindness of the centurion gave indulgence to Paul.-εἰς τὴν Ῥώμην ἤλθομεν, we came to Rome) a remarkable place, earnestly wished for. Here there is an Emphasis on τὴν Ῥώμην, (the) Rome, that it may be marked as the city long desired: but in Act 28:16, ἤλθομεν εἰς Ῥώμην, we came to Rome, the emphasis is on ἤλθομεν, we came, that the entry itself may be marked.
