New Testament

Acts 27:5-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

7. For a number of days we made slow progress and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus; then, as the wind did not permit us to proceed, we went under the lee (shelter) of Crete off Salmone,

8. And coasting along it with difficulty, we arrived at a place called Fair Havens, near which is located the town of Lasea.

9. But as [the season was well advanced, for] much time had been lost and navigation was already dangerous, for the time for the Fast [the Day of Atonement, about the beginning of October] had already gone by, Paul warned and advised them,

10. Saying, Sirs, I perceive [after careful observation] that this voyage will be attended with disaster and much heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but of our lives also.

11. However, the centurion paid greater attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
