Acts 27:3-11

3The next day we put in at 1Sidon; and Julius 2treated Paul with consideration and 3allowed him to go to his friends and receive care. 4From there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of 4Cyprus, because 5the winds were contrary. 5When we had sailed through the sea along the coast of 6Cilicia and 7Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia. 6There the centurion found an 8Alexandrian ship sailing for 9Italy, and he put us aboard it. 7When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, 10since the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the shelter of 11Crete, off Salmone; 8and with difficulty 12sailing past it, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

9When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even 13the 14fast was already over, Paul started admonishing them, 10saying to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with 15damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” 11But the centurion was more persuaded by the 16pilot and the 17captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.
