Paul Sails for Rome
1 When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
2
We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3
The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
4
After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5
And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
6
There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7
After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8
After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
