(30)And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they who sat with them. (31)And having withdrawn, they talked together, saying: This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds. (32)And Agrippa said to Festus: This man could have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar. XXVII. AND when it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band. (2)And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. (3)And on the second day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul humanely, and permitted him to go to his friends and receive their care. (4)And thence having put to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary, (5)And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. (6)And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy; and he put us on board of it. (7)And sailing slowly many days, and having come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us to put in[27:7], we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; (8)and coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasa. (9)And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because also the fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them, (10)saying: Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with violence and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives. (11)But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than the things spoken by Paul. (12)And as the haven was not well situated for wintering, the greater number advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a haven of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter. (13)And a south wind beginning to blow moderately, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete. (14)But not long after, there struck against it a tempestuous wind, called Euracylon. (15)And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we yielded to it, and were driven along. (16)And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to come by the boat; (17)which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast away on the quicksand, they lowered the sail, and so were driven.
