Acts 27:1-7 ▼

1 When it was decided that we were to sail for Italy, they transferred Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort, named Julius.

2 Embarking on a ship of Adramyttium that was about to set sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.

3 The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and allowed him to go to his friends to be cared for.

4 Putting out to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.

5 After we had sailed across the sea that is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.

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

7 We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind was against us, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
