Acts 27:1-12
Paul Sails for Rome
1 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.
1:
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
2:
3 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.
3:
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
4:
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
5:
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
6:
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
7:
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea.
8:
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them],
9:
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
10:
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
11:
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
12:
