Acts 27:1-6

Sailing for Rome

1 When it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment.
2 So when we had boarded a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, intending to sail to ports along the coast of the province of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.
3 The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.
4 When we had put out to sea from there, we sailed along the northern coast[a] of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5 After sailing through the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
