Thematic Bible: Phenice

It was not a good harbor in which to spend the winter. Nearly everyone was in favor of putting out to sea and trying to reach Phoenix in order to spend the winter there. Phoenix is a harbor in Crete that faces southwest and northwest. A gentle wind from the south began to blow. The men thought they could accomplish their plan. So they pulled up the anchor and sailed as close as possible along the coast of Crete.

After they spent a long time without eating Paul stood up and said: Sirs, you should listen to me. You should not have put out to sea from Crete to sustain this damage and loss. Verse ConceptsFatigueadvisersFasting, Examples OfPay Attention To People!Natural DisastersAbstinencesailing
