you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!"
026:025 But he said, "I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly
declare words of truth and reasonableness.
026:026 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely.
For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him,
for this has not been done in a corner.
026:027 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe."
026:028 Agrippa said to Paul, "With a little persuasion are you trying
to make me a Christian?"
026:029 Paul said, "I pray to God, that whether with little or with much,
not only you, but also all that hear me this day, might become
such as I am, except for these bonds."
026:030 The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those
who sat with them.
026:031 When they had withdrawn, they spoke one to another, saying,
"This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds."
026:032 Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free
if he had not appealed to Caesar."
027:001 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy,
they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion
named Julius, of the Augustan band.
027:002 Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places
on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian
of Thessalonica, being with us.
027:003 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly,
and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
027:004 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus,
because the winds were contrary.
027:005 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia
and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
027:006 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy,
and he put us on board.
027:007 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with
difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further,
we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
027:008 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place
called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
027:009 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous,
because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
027:010 and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be
with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship,
but also of our lives."
027:011 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner
of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
027:012 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority
advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could
reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete,
looking northeast and southeast.
