Acts 27:1-9

1 And when it was determined that we 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, being with us.
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 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were 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 us therein*.
7 And when we had sailed slowly* many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete,[a] over against Salmone;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens*; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast[b] was now already past, Paul admonished them,
