Acts 27:3-21

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.

¹⁵And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.

¹⁶And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;

¹⁷which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.

¹⁸And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;

¹⁹and the third day we cast out with our own hands the movables of the ship.

²⁰And as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was taken away.

²¹And after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.
