3And the next day we arriued at Sidon: and Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to go vnto his friends, that they might refresh him.
4And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie.
5Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie in Lycia.
6And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.
7And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to Salmone,
8And with much adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.
9So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,
10And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.
11Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.
12And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.
13And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
14But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
15And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
16And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.
17Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.
18The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.
19And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.
20And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.
21But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse.
