Acts 27:1-14

¹But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.

²And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

³And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself.

⁴And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁵And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia:

⁶and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.

⁷And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;

⁸and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.

⁹And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,

¹⁰saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.

¹²And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.

¹³And the south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.

¹⁴But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.
