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

¹ And when it was determined for us to sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain others bound to a centurion named Julius, of Augustus' band. ² And having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, being about to navigate places in Asia, we were conveyed; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And another day we were brought down to Sidon. And Julius having treated Paul affectionately, gave him up, having gone to his friends to obtain care. ⁴ And conveyed from thence, we sailed to Cyprus, for the winds were contrary. ⁵ And having sailed over the sea by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, of Lycia. ⁶ And there the centurion having found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, placed us upon it. ⁷ And in many days sailing slowly, and with difficulty having come to Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, to Salmone; ⁸ And, with difficulty sailing by it, we came to a certain place called The fair havens; to which the city Lasea was near.

⁹ And a suitable time having intervened, and sailing being already dangerous, for the fast had already passed by, Paul advised, ¹⁰ Saying to them, Men, I see that with violence and much damage, not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives, the voyage is about to be. ¹¹ But the centurion was rather persuaded by the pilot and the shipmaster, than by the things spoken by Paul. ¹² And the harbor being not suitable for passing the winter, the greater part took counsel to be conveyed from thence, if perhaps having arrived at Phenice, they may be able to pass the winter; a harbor of Crete, looking to the south west and to the country.
