When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.

The verses around it, from Acts 28.
12 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli.
14 There we found some brothers who invited us to spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome.
15 The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God.
16 When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
17 After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
18 They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
19 But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
20 So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
