Acts 27:3-11

3The next day we arrived at the city of Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to visit his friends and receive any care he needed.

4Leaving Sidon, we sailed on the northern side of the island of Cyprus because we were traveling against the wind.

5We sailed along the coast of the provinces of Cilicia and Pamphylia and arrived at the city of Myra in the province of Lycia.

6In Myra the officer found a ship from Alexandria that was on its way to Italy and put us on it.

7We were sailing slowly for a number of days. Our difficulties began along the coast of the city of Cnidus because the wind would not let us go further. So at Cape Salmone, we started to sail for the south side of the island of Crete.

8We had difficulty sailing along the shore of Crete. We finally came to a port called Fair Harbors. The port was near the city of Lasea.

9We had lost so much time that the day of fasting had already past. Sailing was now dangerous, so Paul advised them,

10“Men, we’re going to face a disaster and heavy losses on this voyage. This disaster will cause damage to the cargo and the ship, and it will affect our lives.”

11However, the officer was persuaded by what the pilot and the owner of the ship said and not by what Paul said.
