Verses 16-31
5. Ministry in Rome 28:16-31
Luke’s purpose in recording Paul’s ministry in Rome included vindicating God’s promises to Paul that he would bear witness there (Acts 23:11; Acts 27:24). Even though a church already existed there, Paul’s ministry in Rome was significant in Luke’s purpose because he was the apostle to the Gentiles. The apostle to the Gentiles was now able to minister in the heart of the Gentile world.
"Gentiles saw Rome as the center of the earth." [Note: Ibid., p. 726.]
