Paul Is Sent to Rome

27 When it was decided that ^(A)we ^(B)would sail for ^(C)Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan ^[a](D)cohort named Julius. ² And embarking in an Adramyttian ship, which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of ^[b](E)Asia, we put out to sea accompanied by ^(F)Aristarchus, a ^(G)Macedonian of ^(H)Thessalonica. ³ The next day we put in at ^(I)Sidon; and Julius ^(J)treated Paul with consideration and ^(K)allowed him to go to his friends and receive care. ⁴ From there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of ^(L)Cyprus because ^(M)the winds were contrary. ⁵ When we had sailed through the sea along the coast of ^(N)Cilicia and ^(O)Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia. ⁶ There the centurion found an ^(P)Alexandrian ship sailing for ^(Q)Italy, and he put us aboard it. ⁷ When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, ^(R)since the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the shelter of ^(S)Crete, off Salmone; ⁸ and with difficulty ^(T)sailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.
