Rome

In the Bible, Rome is a city named in Acts, Romans, and 2 Timothy, where Paul is described as entering and staying by himself with a guarding soldier (Acts 28:16). Rome appears in at least 8 verses across 3 books. Acts says Aquila and Priscilla had left because Claudius ordered all Jews to leave Rome; it also records Paul’s resolve to see Rome and the Lord’s statement that he must testify there (Acts 18:2; Acts 19:21; Acts 23:11). Romans addresses those in Rome and says Paul was eager to preach to them (Romans 1:7; Romans 1:15).
