Next Verse

And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.

Note 1 at Acts 28:12: Syracuse was a famous city on the east coast of Sicily. It was founded around 735 B.C. and flourished for over five centuries. It was reported to have a causeway linking it to the mainland at one time. It was conquered in 212 B.C. by the Romans.

Paul visited Syracuse for three days on his journey to Rome. Since there has been a Christian community there since the first century, it is supposed that Paul is the one who evangelized it.

A city still exists there today called Syracusa having a small population.
