Acts 27:1-12 : King James Version

27 1And when it was determined that we should sail
into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one
named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. 2And
entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by
the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
being with us. 3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And
Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto
his friends to refresh himself. 4And when we had launched
from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were
contrary. 5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia
and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6And
there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy;
and he put us therein. 7And when we had sailed slowly
many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not
suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 8And,
hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair
havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 9Now when
much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the
fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10And
said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt
and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our
lives. 11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master
and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken
by Paul. 12And because the haven was not commodious to
winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any
means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an
haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
