Acts 27:1-28 And as soon as it was determined, that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and certain other prisoners, to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan Cohort.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And as soon as it was determined, that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and certain other prisoners, to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan Cohort. ² And going aboard a ship of Adramyttium, that was to sail by the coasts of Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And the next day we reached Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, to refresh himself. ⁴ And setting sail from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. ⁵ And having sailed through the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. ⁶ And the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria there, bound for Italy, put us on board of it. ⁷ And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were scarce come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone. ⁸ And passing it with difficulty, we came to the Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea. ⁹ And as much time was spent, and sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was already past, ¹⁰ Paul exhorted them, Saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage is like to be with injury and much damage, not only to the lading and the ship, but also to our lives. ¹¹ But the centurion regarded the master and the owner of the vessel, more than the things, which were spoken by Paul. ¹² And as the haven was not convenient to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence also, if by any means they might reach Phenice, to winter there, which is an haven of Crete looking to the south-west and north-west. ¹³ And as the south wind blew gently, supposing they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and sailed on close by Crete. ¹⁴ But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon. ¹⁵ And the ship being caught, and not able to bear up against the wind, we let her drive. ¹⁶ And running under a certain Island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of the boat: ¹⁷ Which having taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven. ¹⁸ And as we were in an exceeding great storm, the next day they lightened the ship. ¹⁹ And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. ²⁰ And as neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was then taken away. ²¹ But after long abstinence, Paul standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and so have avoided this injury and loss. ²² Yet now I exhort you to be of good courage; for there shall be no loss of any life among you, but of the ship only. ²³ For there stood by me this night an angel of the God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; ²⁴ thou must be presented before Cesar: and lo God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. ²⁵ Wherefore, Sirs, take courage: for I trust in God, that it shall be even as it hath been spoken to me. ²⁶ But we must be cast on a certain island. ²⁷ And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, the sailors suspected, that they drew nigh some land. ²⁸ And sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little farther, sounding again, they found fifteen fathoms.
