Answer 1

You'll find the account of Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27. Paul was imprisoned for preaching Christ. The Romans were polytheists, they believed in many gods. They didn't mind if you added Christ to their many gods, but if you preached Jesus as part of the one, triune God, that was considered blasphemy by the Romans. That is why there was widespread persecution of Christians at this time. Saying "Jesus is Lord" was enough to bring the death sentence. It is believed that Paul was eventually put to death by Nero.

Answer 2

In Acts 27, you can read of a violent storm that came up during early November in our calendar. The ship was tossed in just about every direction but ran aground near the island of Malta.

Paul was imprisoned twice in Rome, according to many scholars (A.T. Robertson, Halley's Bible Handbook, etc) but he wasn't really in jail the first time he went to Rome, according to Acts 28. He was literally in house arrest, in that he had some freedom to see people, talk to the, and so on but he was chained to a soldier. On the one hand, Paul was a Roman citizen and had appealed to Caesar, so he had the right to go there, but for some reason, he really wasn't free. At any rate, that's the gist of Acts 27 and 28.

Later he was jailed--literally taken to a dungeon, some think the Mamertime Prison in Rome. By this time, Paul was probably Public Enemy number 1 on Rome's hit list because he was preaching Jesus as the only way to Heaven. There are different accounts of what happened but the point is that Paul was faithful even to death. He knew what it might mean to live for Christ and to preach Him, but Paul knew that to leave this world was really the best thing to happen! See his letter to the Philippians and read some of the conflicting thoughts he had. Anyway, that's why he was jailed--he didn't stop preaching Jesus as the only way to Heaven.
