nturion named
Julius, of the Augustan band. (2)And entering into a ship of
Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea,
Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. (3)And on
the second day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul humanely,
and permitted him to go to his friends and receive their care. (4)And
thence having put to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds
were contrary, (5)And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and
Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. (6)And there the
centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy; and he put us
on board of it. (7)And sailing slowly many days, and having come with
difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us to put
in[27:7], we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; (8)and coasting
along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair
Havens, near to which was the city Lasa.

(9)And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now
dangerous, because also the fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted
them, (10)saying: Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with
violence and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also
of our lives. (11)But the centurion believed the master and the owner
of the ship, more than the things spoken by Paul. (12)And as the haven
was not well situated for wintering, the greater number advised to
sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a haven of
Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.

(13)And a south wind beginning to blow moderately, supposing that they
had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along
close by Crete. (14)But not long after, there struck against it a
tempestuous wind, called Euracylon. (15)And the ship being caught, and
unable to face the wind, we yielded to it, and were driven along.
(16)And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were
hardly able to come by the boat; (17)which when they had taken up,
they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should
be cast away on the quicksand, they lowered the sail, and so were
driven.

(18)And we being violently tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened
the ship; (19)and the third day we cast out with our own hands the
tackling of the ship. (20)And neither sun nor stars appearing for many
days, and no small tempest lying on us, thenceforward all hope that we
should be saved
