1 It was decided that we would sail for Italy. An officer named Julius, who served in the emperor’s army, guarded Paul and some other prisoners.
2 We got on a ship that was from the city of Adramyttium and was about to sail to different ports in Asia. Aristarchus, a man from the city of Thessalonica in Macedonia, went with us.
3 The next day we came to Sidon. Julius was very good to Paul and gave him freedom to go visit his friends, who took care of his needs.
4 We left Sidon and sailed close to the island of Cyprus, because the wind was blowing against us.
5 We went across the sea by Cilicia and Pamphylia and landed at the city of Myra, in Lycia.
