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

¹ And when it was determined that we should sail away into Italy, they committed both Paul and certain other prisoners to the centurion, Julius by name, of the band of Augustus. ² And having embarked on an Adramyttium ship, about to sail to those places along Asia, we set sail; Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And on the following day we disembarked at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, permitted him having gone to his friends to receive their benefactions. ⁴ And having embarked from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary: ⁵ and having sailed through the sea which is opposite Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down into Myra of Lycia. ⁶ And there the centurion having found an Alexandrian ship sailing into Italy; transferred us into it. ⁷ And sailing slowly during many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not favoring us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone; ⁸ and, with difficulty passing by it, we came into a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea.

⁹ And much time passing away, and navigation being already unsafe, because the Fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them, ¹⁰ saying to them, Men, I perceive that this voyage is going to be with peril and much loss, not only with the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. ¹¹ But the centurion trusted the pilot and midshipman, rather than the things spoken by Paul. ¹² And the harbor being unsafe for spending the winter, most of them projected to the council to depart thence, if perchance they might be able, having arrived into Phoenix, to spend the winter there; a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southeast and the northeast.
