Acts 27:1-10 ▼

1 When it was decided we would sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.

2 We went on board a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to various ports along the coast of the province of Asia and put out to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.

3 The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius, treating Paul kindly, allowed him to go to his friends so they could provide him with what he needed.

4 From there we put out to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5 After we had sailed across the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we put in at Myra in Lycia.

6 There the centurion found a ship from Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.

7 We sailed slowly for many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Because the wind prevented us from going any farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.

8 With difficulty we sailed along the coast of Crete and came to a place called Fair Havens that was near the town of Lasea.

9 Since considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast was already over, Paul advised them,

10 Men, I can see the voyage is going to end in disaster and great loss not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.|
