Acts 27:1-14

¹And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

²And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

³And the next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends, and receive their care.

⁴And thence putting to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁵And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

⁶And there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria about to sail for Italy, put us on board of it.

⁷And sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

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

⁹And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,

¹⁰saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.

¹²And as the harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.

¹³And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete.

¹⁴But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
