1When it was decided that we should set sail toward Italy, they delivered both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the Augustan band.2We boarded a ship of Adramyttium that was about to sail to the places along the coast of Asia and put to sea with Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.3The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul benevolently and permitted him to go to his friends to obtain care.4From there we put to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.5We sailed across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia and came down to Myra in Lycia.6And there the centurion found an Alexandrian boat sailing toward Italy and put us on board it.7We sailed slowly for many days and with difficulty arrived off Cnidus; since the wind did not allow us to proceed, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.8Coasting along it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.9Much time having passed and the voyage being already dangerous because the fasting had already passed by, Paul urged them.10Men, I see that the voyage will be with mistreatment and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives.11But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the ship-owner than by the things said by Paul.12Because the harbor was unsuitable for wintering, the majority decided to put to sea from there, hoping that somehow they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and winter there.
