Acts 27:1-6

Paul’s voyage to Rome

1 When it was determined that we were to sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were placed in the custody of a centurion named Julius of the Imperial Company.
2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia. So we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, came with us.
3 The next day we landed in Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and permitted him to go to some friends so they could take care of him.
4 From there we sailed off. We passed Cyprus, using the island to shelter us from the headwinds.
5 We sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and landed in Myra in Lycia.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship headed for Italy and put us on board.
