Acts 27:1-10 ▼

1 When it was resolv'd, that we should sail for Italy, Paul and other prisoners were delivered to the custody of one Julius, a centurion of

2 a cohort in Augustus's legion, we embark'd in a vessel of Adramyttium, designing to coast it along Asia, and set sail with Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica.

3 the next day we touch'd at Sidon, where the centurion, who was very civil to Paul, gave him leave to go, and refresh himself at his friends.

4 from thence we put off, and made our coast north of Cyprus, the wind being contrary.

5 after having travers'd the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we arriv'd at Myra, a city of Lycia.

6 there the centurion met with a ship of Alexandria, bound for Italy, and put us on board.

7 For several days we made very little sail, and having scarce got sight of Cnidus, the wind being against us, we bore away between Salmone and Crete:

8 with much ado we weathered the cape and got to Belhaven near Lasea.

9 having lost a good deal of time, and sailing being now dangerous, for the fast was now over, Paul gave them this warning,

10 "my friends, said he, I foresee our voyage will be attended with great difficulties, and no small risk of losing not only the ship and cargo, but our lives too."
