Acts 27:8-12 ▼

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.|

11 But the centurion was more convinced by the captain and the ship's owner than by what Paul said.

12 Because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there. They hoped that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
