Acts 27:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 We remained there for many days. By then it had become dangerous to continue the journey. It was already after the Day of Atonement.[a]
So Paul spoke to the army officer and to the sailors. 10 He said, ‘Friends, I understand that now our journey will be dangerous. The ship may break in pieces. You may lose the things that the ship is carrying. All of us may even die.’ 11 But the army officer did not believe what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the owner of the ship and the captain said.[b]
