1. And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Sha’ul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a captain of the Augustan regiment.
2. And having embarked in a ship from Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, did set sail. Aristarchos, a Makedonian of Thessalonike, was with us.
3. And on the next day we landed at Tsiḏon. And Julius treated Sha’ul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive attention.
4. And from there we put out to sea and sailed close to Cyprus, because the winds were against us.
5. And having sailed over the sea along Kilikia and Pamphulia, we came to Mura, of Lukia.
6. And there the captain, having found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, did put us on board.
7. And having sailed slowly many days, and arriving with difficulty off Knidos, the wind not allowing us to proceed, we sailed close to Crete, off Salmone.
8. And passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9. And much time having passed, and the sailing now being dangerous, because the Fast was already over, Sha’ul advised them,
10. saying, “Men, I see that this voyage is going to end with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.”
11. But the captain was persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship, rather than what Sha’ul said.
12. And because the harbour was unsuitable to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from there too, if somehow they were able to reach Phoenix, a harbour of Crete facing southwest and northwest, to pass the winter.
13. And a south wind blowing softly, thinking they had obtained their purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed along Crete, close inshore.
14. And not long after, a stormy head wind rushed down from it, called Northeaster.
15. And when the ship was caught in it, and unable to head against the wind, we let her go and were driven.
