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

¹ And, when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion, Julius by name, of the Augustan band. ² And, embarking upon a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to Sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul humanely, gave him permission to go to his friends to receive their attention. ⁴ And, thence putting out to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. ⁵ And, sailing over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. ⁶ And there the centurion, finding an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, put us on board of it. ⁷ And, sailing slowly many days, and with difficulty having come over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to approach, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; ⁸ and, coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near which was a city??asea.

⁹ And much time having been spent, and sailing being already dangerous, because also the fast had already gone by, Paul was admonishing them, ¹⁰ saying, "Men! I perceive that the voyage is likely to be with violence and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. ¹¹ But the centurion believed the pilot and the owner of the ship, more than the things spoken by Paul. ¹² And, because the harbor was incommodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail thence, if by any means, having reached Phoenix, a harbor of Crete??ooking toward the south-west and north-west ??e might be able to winter there.
