Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Cohort, was responsible for escorting Paul to Rome and showed him kindness during the journey.
Julius was the Roman centurion of the Augustan Cohort who was given charge of Paul and other prisoners on the voyage to Rome (Acts 27:1–3, 43). He treated Paul with 'kindness,' allowing him to visit friends at Sidon, and when the ship was wrecked at Malta he prevented the soldiers from killing the prisoners—saving Paul's life. His restraint and respect for Paul throughout the dangerous voyage stand out in the account as evidence of Paul's persuasive character and divine protection.
