Acts 27
Reading Acts chapter 27 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
2 Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
3 And the day following, we came to Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends and to take care of himself.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia.
6 And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
7 And when for many days we had sailed slowly and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone.
8 And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.
9 And when much time was spent and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
10 Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
