1. When it was decided that we should set sail to Italy they delivered both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion whose name was Julius. He was of an Augustan cohort. We set sail embarking in a ship that belonged to Adramyttium and which was about to sail along the coast of places in Asia. With us was Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica. The next day we were brought to land at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to be cared for. Then putting to sea we sailed close to Cyprus because of adverse winds. We sailed over the sea past Cilicia and Pamphylia and came down to Myra of Lycia. 27:1-5 2. There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing down to Italy and he put us on board. We sailed slowly over several days because the wind was not favourable. We sailed close to Crete off Salmone and with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Haven. Near this was a city of Laesea. When we arrived a lot of time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous. The fast (tide?) had now gone by. Paul advised them saying "Men I see that it will be only with injury and loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship but also of our lives (if we continue) the voyage." 27:6-10
