"'. . . all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
---Luke 24:47

"And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house . . . teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ . . ."
---Acts 28:30-31 [ellipsis mine]

Good news is first heard in Jerusalem
by Zechariah and Elizabeth.
Then, having visited its gift on them,
the message went northward to Nazareth;
later, throughout the land of Galilee;
not thwarted by the traitor's perfidy,
or those whose plot sent Jesus to His death.
And now, decades since then, it has reached Rome---
where Paul, chained, preaches from his rented home.
