Acts 27:1-12 - Paul And His Associates Sail For Rome

¹ And when it was determined for us to sail for Italy, they delivered both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the band of Augustus. ² And having gotten on a ship of Adramyttium that was going to sail to the places along Asia, we launched, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, who treated Paul kindly, allowed him to undergo care, after going to his friends. ⁴ And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. ⁵ And having sailed across the depths along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, of Lycia. ⁶ And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it. ⁷ And sailing slowly during considerable days, and with difficulty having come along the Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under lee of Crete, along Salmone. ⁸ And sailing by it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was Lasea City.

⁹ And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged, ¹⁰ saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to be with injury and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. ¹¹ But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul. ¹² And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest
