Acts 27:1-12

[1] And  when  it was determined  should sail  into  Italy,  they delivered  Paul  and  certain  other  prisoners  unto one named  Julius,  a centurion  of Augustus'  band.  [2] And  entering  into a ship  of Adramyttium,  we launched,  meaning  to sail  by  the coasts  of Asia;  one Aristarchus,  a Macedonian  of Thessalonica,  with  [3] And  the next  day we touched  at  Sidon.  And  Julius  courteously  entreated  Paul,  and gave him liberty  to go  unto  his friends  to refresh himself.  [4] when we had launched  from thence,  we sailed under  Cyprus,  because  the winds  contrary.  [5] And  when we had sailed over  the sea  of  Cilicia  and  Pamphylia,  we came  to  Myra,  a city of Lycia.  [6] And there  the centurion  found  a ship  of Alexandria  sailing  into  Italy;  and he put  therein.  [7] And  when we had sailed slowly  many  days,  and  scarce  were come  over against  Cnidus,  the wind  not  suffering  we sailed under  Crete,  over against  Salmone;  [8] And,  hardly  passing  it,  came  unto  place  which is called  The fair  nigh  whereunto  the city  of Lasea.  [9] Now  when much  time  was spent,  and  when sailing  now  dangerous,  because  the fast  now  already  past,  Paul  admonished  [10] And said  unto them,  Sirs,  I perceive  that  this voyage  will be  with  hurt  and  much  damage,  not  only  and  ship,  but  also  lives.  [11] Nevertheless  the centurion  believed  the master  and  the owner of the ship,  more  than  those things which were spoken  by  Paul.  [12] And  the haven  was  not commodious  to  winter in,  the more part  advised  to depart  they might  attain  to  Phenice,  and there to winter;  which is an haven  of Crete,  and lieth  toward  the south west  and  north west.
