27:1 Paul is escorted off overseas
27 So when it was considered the right season to sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were put under the guard of a centurion named Julius (from the Augustan Regiment). 2 We all boarded on a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to various places along the coast of Asia Minor. Aristarchus, a Macedonian man from Thessalonica, was with us as we departed.
3 The next day we docked at Tsidon where Julius very kindly allowed Paul to visit some of his friends so they could provide for his needs. 4 When we left again, the ship stayed between Cyprus and the mainland because of the unfavourable winds, 5 then after sailing past Cilicia and Pamphylia, we docked at Myra in the province of Lycia. 6 There the centurion found a ship from Alexandria that was sailing to Italy, so he boarded us on that.
7 After many days of slow and difficult sailing, we came alongside Cnidus but the wind wasn’t helpful to us, so we sailed across to Crete and along the cape of Salmone. 8 We sailed along it with difficulty until we came to a place called ‘Fair Havens’ which was near the city of Lasea.
9 A lot of time had now elapsed and the voyage was starting to become dangerous because we were already heading into winter. Paul advised those in charge, 10 telling them, “Men, I perceive that we’re going to encounter a lot of damage on this voyage, with loss not only of the cargo and the ship, but also our lives.” 11 But the centurion was persuaded by the ship owner and the captain, rather than by what Paul had said. 12 They realised that this harbour wasn’t suitable to winter in, so the majority suggested leaving there with the expectation of being able to get to Crete to the winter in the harbour at Phoenix (which was open to both the southwest and the northwest).
