Acts 27:3-11

3The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius, treating Paul kindly, allowed him to go to his friends so they could provide him with what he needed.

4From there we put out to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5After we had sailed across the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we put in at Myra in Lycia.

6There the centurion found a ship from Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.

7We sailed slowly for many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Because the wind prevented us from going any farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.

8With difficulty we sailed along the coast of Crete and came to a place called Fair Havens that was near the town of Lasea.

9Since considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast was already over, Paul advised them,

10“Men, I can see the voyage is going to end in disaster and great loss not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”

11But the centurion was more convinced by the captain and the ship’s owner than by what Paul said.
