27 1 Paul 7, 9 foretelleth the peril of the voyage, 11 but he is not believed. 14 They are tossed to and fro with the tempest, 22, 41 and suffer shipwreck: 34 Yet all safe and sound 44 escape to land.

Now [a]when it was concluded, that we should sail into Italy, they delivered both Paul, and certain other prisoners unto a Centurion, named Julius, of the band of Augustus.

And (A)we entered into a ship of Adramyttium, purposing to sail by the coasts of Asia, and launched forth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with us.

And the next day we arrived at Sidon: and Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends, that they might refresh him.

And from thence we launched, and sailed hard by Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

Then sailed we over the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a city in Lycia.

And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sailing into Italy, and put us therein.

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come against Cnidus, because the wind suffered us not, we sailed hard by Candia, near to [b]Salmone,

And with much ado sailed beyond it, and came unto a certain place called the Fair Havens, near unto the which was the city Lasea.
