Acts 27

1 Ref And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,

2 Ref and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

3 Ref on the next `day' also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit `him', having gone on unto friends, to receive `their' care.

4 Ref And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

5 Ref and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,

6 Ref and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

7 Ref and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

8 and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city `of' Lasaea.

9 Ref And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing,

10 Ref saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives -- the voyage is about to be;'

11 Ref but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

12 Ref and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, `there' to winter, `which is' a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

13 Ref and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained `their' purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

14 Ref and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

15 Ref and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given `her' up, we were borne on,

16 and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
