Acts 27:1-10 ▼

1 When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were transferred to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the emperor's division.

2 After boarding a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to the ports on the coast of Asia, we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.

3 The next day, we arrived at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly allowing him to visit his friends there and to receive any care he needed.

4 After putting out from there, we sailed on the sheltered side of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5 We sailed along the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia and reached Myra in Lycia.

6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put us on it.

7 We sailed slowly for a number of days and with difficulty arrived off Cnidus. Then, because the wind was against us, we sailed on the sheltered side of Crete off Cape Salome.

8 Sailing past it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

9 Much time had been lost, and because navigation had become dangerous and the day of fasting had already past, Paul began to warn those on the ship,

10 |Men, I see that during this voyage there will be hardship and a heavy loss not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives.|
