1 When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they handed Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion named Julius of the Cohort Augusta.
2 We went on board a ship from Adramyttium bound for ports in the province of Asia and set sail. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3 On the following day we put in at Sidon where Julius was kind enough to allow Paul to visit his friends who took care of him.
4 From there we put out to sea and sailed around the sheltered side of Cyprus because of the headwinds,
5 and crossing the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship that was sailing to Italy and put us on board.
7 For many days we made little headway, arriving at Cnidus only with difficulty, and because the wind would not permit us to continue our course we sailed for the sheltered side of Crete off Salmone.
