And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.

But Julius let himself be persuaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments;

But Paul, addressing Julius and the soldiers, said, "Your lives will be sacrificed, unless these men remain on board."

Salute Philologus and Julius, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who were with them.
