Acts 27:1-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Paul Is Put On a Ship Under Guard For The Voyage To Rome
27 And when it was determined that we[a] should sail-away to Italy, they were handing-over both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Imperial[b] cohort, Julius by name. 2 And having boarded an Adramyttian[c] ship being about to sail to the places along [the coast of] Asia, we put-to-sea— Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, having treated Paul humanely, permitted him to obtain care[d], having gone to his friends. 4 And from there, having put-to-sea, we sailed-under-the-shelter[e]-of Cyprus because of the winds being contrary. 5 And having sailed-through the open-sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra of Lycia. 6 And there the centurion, having found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, put us on board in it. 7 And in many[f] days, sailing-slowly and with-difficulty, having come-to-be off Cnidus[g]— the wind not permitting us to go farther[h]— we sailed-under-the-shelter-of Crete off Salmone. 8 And sailing-along it[i] with-difficulty, we came to a certain place being called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea.
