Acts 27:11-27

¹¹Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than the things which were spoken by Paul.

¹²And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is a haven of Crete, and lieth towards the south-west and north-west.
