Acts 27:2-15 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

2. and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

3. on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit [him], having gone on unto friends, to receive [their] care.

4. And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

5. and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,

6. and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

7. and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

8. and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea.

9. And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous--because of the fast also being already past--Paul was admonishing,

10. saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives--the voyage is about to be;'

11. but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

12. and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, [there] to winter, [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

13. and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

14. and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

15. and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on,
