Acts 27:1-28 When it was concluded that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, an under-captain of Caesar's soldiers.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When it was concluded that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, an under-captain of Caesar's soldiers. ² And we entered into a ship of Adramyttium, and loosed from land, appointed to sail by the coasts of Asia: one Aristarchus out of Macedonia, of the country of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And the next day came we to Sidon, and Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends, and to refresh himself. ⁴ And from thence launched we and sailed hard by Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. ⁵ Then sailed we over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and came to Myra a city in Lycia. ⁶ And there the under-captain found a ship of Alexandria ready to sail into Italy, and put us therein, ⁷ and when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, because the wind withstood us, we sailed hard by the coast of Crete, over against Salmone, ⁸ and with much work sailed beyond it, and came unto a place called Good Port, nigh whereunto was a city called Lasea. ⁹ When much time was spent and sailing was now jeopardous, because also that we had overlong fasted, Paul put them in remembrance, ¹⁰ and said unto them, "Sirs I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship only: but also of our lives." ¹¹ Neverthelater, the under-captain believed the governor, and the master, better than those things which were spoken of Paul. ¹² And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, many took counsel to depart thence, if by any means they might attain to Phoenix and there to winter, which is a haven of Crete, and serveth to the southwest, and northwest wind. ¹³ When the south wind blew, they supposing to obtain their purpose loosed unto Assos, and sailed past all Crete. ¹⁴ But anon after there arose, against their purpose, a flaw of wind out of the northeast. ¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the wind, we let her go and drave with the weather. ¹⁶ And we came unto an isle named Cauda; And had much work to come by a boat, ¹⁷ which they took up, and used help undergirding the ship, fearing lest we should have fallen into Syrtis, and we let down a vessel and so were carried. ¹⁸ The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship, ¹⁹ and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. ²⁰ When at the last neither sun nor star in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay upon us, all hope that we should be saved, was then taken away. ²¹ Then after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them and said, "Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, neither to have brought unto us this harm and loss. ²² And now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you: save of the ship only. ²³ For there stood by me this night the angel of God: whose I am, and whom I serve: ²⁴ saying, 'Fear not Paul, for thou must be brought before Caesar. And lo, God hath given unto thee all that sail with thee.' ²⁵ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God that so it shall be even as it was told me; ²⁶ Howbeit, we must be cast into a certain island." ²⁷ But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were carried in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that there appeared some country unto them, ²⁸ and they sounded, and found it twenty fathoms; And when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
