A. Evidence that Paul Was Released from Imprisonment in Rome
Acts 28 ends with Paul in Rome under house arrest. However, the impression is that after the two years Paul was released.
That Paul was released appears to be affirmed from Paul's own words of expectation in Philippians 1:25-27 where he expects to "remain" rather than "depart and be with Christ,” and Philippians 2:19-24 and Philemon 22 where he states that he plans to visit these places and people.
Several historians of the early church wrote that Paul was released and visited Spain. Clement of Rome (A.D. 95) wrote of Paul that he "taught righteousness to the whole world, even having gone to the bounds of the West." This phrase "bounds of the West" was a phrase which was used to describe Spain. Eusibius (late 2nd century, c. 150-190) wrote, "Tradition has it that after defending himself the Apostle was again sent on the ministry of preaching, and coming a second time to the same city, suffered martyrdom under Nero." The Muritorian fragment refers to Paul's journey to Spain, as do many other late second century writers. This is consistent with his stated intention to visit Spain in Romans 15:24.
