Acts 27:3-11

3The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.

4When we had put out to sea from there, we sailed along the northern coast of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5After sailing through the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.

6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

7Sailing slowly for many days, with difficulty we arrived off Cnidus. Since the wind did not allow us to approach it, we sailed along the south side of Crete off Salmone.

8With still more difficulty we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens near the city of Lasea.

9By now much time had passed, and the voyage was already dangerous. Since the Day of Atonement was already over, Paul gave his advice

10and told them, “Men, I can see that this voyage is headed toward disaster and heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives.”

11But the centurion paid attention to the captain and the owner of the ship rather than to what Paul said.
