Paul having been accused before Festus, the Roman governor of Judæa, by the Jews, of divers crimes, availed himself of his privilege, as a Roman citizen, of appealing to the Emperor in person, or of claiming to have his cause heard and adjudged before the imperial tribunal at Rome. In consequence of this claim being admitted, it became necessary that he should be sent to that city; and he was accordingly, together with several other prisoners, delivered in charge to Julius, a centurion of Augustus's band, in order to be conveyed to Rome. Dr. Benson's History of the Establishment of the Christian Religion, the Unitarian Version of the New Testament, the Bible by Messrs. D'Oyley and Mant, and the second edition of Annotations on the Gospels, have each a map in which the course of St. Paul is delineated; and they all agree in making Malta the scene of his shipwreck. This opinion, it is supposed, there are strong reasons for rejecting as erroneous. The learned reader will recollect the voyage of Josephus from Palestine to Rome on a similar occasion. He also was wrecked in the Adriatic. The present article was originally designed to accompany a new edition of some of the tracts in the Geographi Minores. VOL. XIX. Cl. Jl. NO. XXXVIII. |
