Acts28:16
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a souldier that kept him.
The Praefectus Praetorio being Commander in chief over the Soldiers, and unto whom the Prisoners of State were usually committed.
God by this means giving Paul an opportunity to go abroad at his pleasure, tho chained; as verse 20. Yet he might preach the Gospel; and that was not bound, 2 Tim. 2.9. And now God is with Paul, as he was with Ioseph, in Prison, Gen. 39.21. and procures him favour.
