Acts 27:1-13
1WhenG5613 it was decidedG2919 that 1we 2would sailG636 for 3ItalyG2482, they proceeded to deliverG3860 PaulG3972 and someG5100 otherG2087 prisonersG1202 to a centurionG1543 of the AugustanG4575 45cohortG4686 namedG3686 JuliusG2457. 2And embarkingG1910 in an AdramyttianG98 shipG4143, which was aboutG3195 to sailG4126 to the regionsG5117 alongG2596 the coastG2596 of 67AsiaG773, we putG321 out to seaG321 accompaniedG1510G4862 by 8AristarchusG708, a 9MacedonianG3110 of 10ThessalonicaG2331. 3The nextG2087 day we putG2609 in at 11SidonG4605; and JuliusG2457 12treatedG5530 PaulG3972 with considerationG5364 and 13allowedG2010 him to goG4198 to his friendsG5384 and receiveG5177 careG1958. 4From thereG2547 we putG321 out to seaG321 and sailedG5284 underG5284 the shelterG5284 of 14CyprusG2954 becauseG1223 15the windsG417 were contraryG1727. 5When we had sailedG1277 throughG1277 the seaG3989 alongG2596 the coastG2596 of 16CiliciaG2791 and 17PamphyliaG3828, we landedG2718 at MyraG3460 in LyciaG3073. 6ThereG2546 the centurionG1543 foundG2147 an 18AlexandrianG222 shipG4143 sailingG4126 for 19ItalyG2482, and he putG1688 us aboardG1688 it. 7When we had sailedG1020 slowlyG1020 for a goodG2425 manyG2425 daysG2250, and with difficultyG3433 had arrivedG1096 offG2596 CnidusG2834, 20since the windG417 did not permitG4330 us to go fartherG4330, we sailedG5284 underG5284 the shelterG5284 of 21CreteG2914, offG2596 SalmoneG4534; 8and with difficultyG3433 22sailingG3881 pastG3881 it we cameG2064 to a placeG5117 calledG2564 FairG2568 HavensG2568, nearG1451 whichG3739 was the cityG4172 of LaseaG2996.
9When considerableG2425 timeG5550 had passedG1230 and the voyageG4144 was nowG2235 dangerousG2000, sinceG1223 evenG2532 23the 24fastG3521 was alreadyG2235 overG3928, PaulG3972 began to admonishG3867 them, 10and saidG3004 to them, “MenG435, I perceiveG2334 that the voyageG4144 willG3195 certainlyG3195 be with 25damageG5196 and greatG4183 lossG2209, not onlyG3440 of the cargoG5413 and the shipG4143, but alsoG2532 of our livesG5590.” 11But the centurionG1543 was moreG3123 persuadedG3982 by the 26pilotG2942 and the 27captainG3490 of the shipG3490 thanG2228 by what was being saidG3004 by PaulG3972. 12Because the harborG3040 was not suitableG428 for winteringG3915, the majorityG4183 reachedG5087 a decisionG1012 to putG321 out to seaG321 from thereG1564, ifG1487 somehowG4458 they couldG1410 reachG2658 PhoenixG5405, a harborG3040 of 28CreteG2914, facingG991 southwestG3047 and northwestG5566, and spendG3914 the winterG3914 there.
1329When a moderateG5285 southG3558 windG3558 cameG5285 up, supposingG1380 that they had attainedG2902 their purposeG4286, they weighedG142 anchorG142 and began 30sailingG3881 alongG3881 31CreteG2914, closeG788 inshore.
