Acts 27

¹And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

²And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

³And on the day after, we came to Sidon; and Julius was kind to Paul, and let him go to see his friends and take a rest.

⁴And sailing again from there, we went on under cover of Cyprus, because the wind was against us.

⁵And having gone across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra, in Lycia.

⁶And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.

⁷And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

⁸And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.

⁹And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

¹⁰Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.

¹¹But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

¹²And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.
