Judea to Malta and finally to Rome people come to faith.

“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I
have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for
me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day,
and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:6-8
