Acts 27:1-28 And when it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' cohort.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' cohort. ² And boarding a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail alongside Asian places, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And on the next day we were landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul courteously and gave him liberty to go to his friends to receive care. ⁴ And setting sail from there, we sailed close to Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. ⁵ And sailing over the sea against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra of Lycia. ⁶ And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, and he put us on it. ⁷ And sailing slowly many days and with difficulty, coming abreast of Cnidus; the wind not allowing us; we sailed close to Crete, across from Salmone. ⁸ And coasting along with difficulty, we came to a place named Fair Havens, near which was a city, Lasea. ⁹ And much time having been used up, and the voyage already being dangerous, because the Fast was now already past, Paul warned them, ¹⁰ saying, Men, I perceive that this voyage is about to be with much harm and loss, and not only much cargo and of the ship, but also of our souls. ¹¹ But the centurion was rather persuaded by the helmsman and the shipmaster, than by the things spoken by Paul. ¹² And the port not being fit to winter in, the most of them advised to set sail from there, if by any means they might be able to get to Phoenix to winter; which is a port of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest. ¹³ And a south wind blowing softly, thinking to have obtained their purpose, lifting anchor, they sailed along close beside Crete. ¹⁴ But not long after, a stormy wind called Euroclydon beat down on it. ¹⁵ And the ship being seized, and not being able to beat against the wind, giving way we were borne along. ¹⁶ And running under an islet being called Clauda, we hardly were able to become masters of the boat; ¹⁷ which taking, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they should fall into the sandbanks of Syrtis, lowering the tackle, so they were borne along. ¹⁸ And being exceedingly storm-tossed with a tempest, they made a casting on the next day; ¹⁹ And on the third day we threw out the ship's tackle with our hands. ²⁰ And neither sun nor stars appearing in many days, and no small tempest pressing hard, now all hope that we would be saved was taken away. ²¹ But there being much fasting, then standing up in their midst, Paul said, O men, being obedient to me you ought not to have set sail from Crete, and to have come by this harm and loss. ²² And now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no casting away of life among you, only of the ship. ²³ For tonight an angel of God stood beside me, whose I am and whom I serve, ²⁴ saying, Fear not, Paul! You must stand before Caesar. And behold! God has given you all those who sail with you. ²⁵ Therefore, men, be of good cheer, for I believe God, that it will be so, according to the way it was told me. ²⁶ But we must fall on a certain island. ²⁷ But when the fourteenth night came, we being carried about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors thought that they drew near some country. ²⁸ And sounding they found it twenty fathoms; and moving a little further, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
