Acts 27:7-12

7Sailing slowly for a number of days, with difficulty we made it to Cnidus. As the wind did not allow us to go further, we sailed under the shelter of Crete, off Salmone.

8Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

9Since considerable time had passed and the voyage was already dangerous because the Fast had already gone by, Paul kept warning them,

10telling them, “Men, I can see that the voyage is about to end in disaster and great loss—not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives!”

11But the centurion was persuaded more by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was said by Paul.

12And because the harbor was unsuitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to set out to sea from there—if somehow they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing northeast and southeast, and spend the winter there.
