Italian original Cite

JULIUS. - Centurione al quale fu affidato Paolo, prigioniero, nel viaggio da Cesarea a Roma (Act. 27, 1-28, 16).G. treated Paul with great humanity (Acts 27:3), for which reason Luke speaks of him with sympathy. Along with Paul he allowed Luke and Aristarchus to embark, availing himself of the law that granted a Roman prisoner the service of two slaves. At Sidon he granted him to visit the "friends" (Act. 27:3). On the eve of the shipwreck, he followed the Apostle's suggestions (Act. 27:30 ff.) and, in order to save him, opposed the soldiers' proposal to kill the prisoners (ibid. 27:42 f.).
