    6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

    7 We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. Because the wind did not allow us to go further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, off Salmone.

    8 With difficulty, we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

    9 Much time had been lost, and the voyage was now dangerous because it was after the Day of Atonement. So Paul warned them,

    10 "Men, I can see that our voyage will result in disaster and great loss, not only to the cargo and ship, but also to our own lives."

    18 The next day, as we were being violently tossed by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard.

    19 On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.

    20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued to rage, all hope of being saved was finally abandoned.

    21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me and not set sail from Crete, thereby avoiding this disaster and loss.
