Acts 27:1-28 AND when it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ AND when it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band. ² And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And on the second day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul humanely, and permitted him to go to his friends and receive their care. ⁴ And thence having put to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary, ⁵ And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. ⁶ And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy; and he put us on board of it. ⁷ And sailing slowly many days, and having come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; ⁸ and coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasa. ⁹ And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because also the fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them, ¹⁰ saying: Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with violence and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives. ¹¹ But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than the things spoken by Paul. ¹² And as the haven was not well situated for wintering, the greater number advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a haven of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter. ¹³ And a south wind beginning to blow moderately, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete. ¹⁴ But not long after, there struck against it a tempestuous wind, called Euracylon. ¹⁵ And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we yielded to it, and were driven along. ¹⁶ And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to come by the boat; ¹⁷ which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast away on the quicksand, they lowered the sail, and so were driven. ¹⁸ And we being violently tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship; ¹⁹ and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. ²⁰ And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small tempest lying on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was utterly taken away. ²¹ But after much abstinence, then Paul, standing up in the midst of then, said: Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me and not put to sea from Crete, and so have escaped this violence and loss. ²² And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. ²³ For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, ²⁴ saying: Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and, lo, God has given thee all those who sail with thee. ²⁵ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be even so, as it has been told me. ²⁶ But we must be cast away upon a certain island. ²⁷ And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven onward in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the seamen suspected that they were near to some country; ²⁸ and sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little further, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
