Acts 27:1-10

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, 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 was now already past , Paul admonished them,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be * with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
