New Testament

Acts 27:1-6 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. NOW WHEN it was determined that we [including Luke] should sail for Italy, they turned Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion of the imperial regiment named Julius.

2. And going aboard a ship from Adramyttium which was about to sail for the ports along the coast of [the province of] Asia, we put out to sea; and Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, accompanied us.

3. The following day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul in a loving way, with much consideration (kindness and care), permitting him to go to his friends [there] and be refreshed and be cared for.

4. After putting to sea from there we passed to the leeward (south side) of Cyprus [for protection], for the winds were contrary to us.

5. And when we had sailed over [the whole length] of sea which lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.

6. There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and he transferred us to it.
