    6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy; and he put us on it.

    7And when we had sailed slowly for many days, and barely came opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone;

    8And with difficulty passing it, came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

    9Now when much time had been spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was already past, Paul admonished them,

    10And said to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will result in disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives.

    11Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.

    12And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to sail from there also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, to winter there; which is a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest.

    18And being exceedingly tossed by a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

    19And on the third day we cast out, with our own hands, the ship's tackle.

    20And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then lost.

    21But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in their midst, and said, Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete, and incurred this harm and loss.

    22And now I exhort you to take courage: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship.

    23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

    24Saying, Do not fear, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and indeed, God has granted you all those who sail with you.

    25Therefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it will be just as it was told to me.
