9 And much time having passed, and the sailing now being dangerous, because the Fast was already over, Sha’ul advised them,
10 saying, “Men, I see that this voyage is going to end with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.”
11 But the captain was persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship, rather than what Sha’ul said.
12 And because the harbour was unsuitable to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from there too, if somehow they were able to reach Phoenix, a harbour of Crete facing southwest and northwest, to pass the winter.
13 And a south wind blowing softly, thinking they had obtained their purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed along Crete, close inshore.
14 And not long after, a stormy head wind rushed down from it, called Northeaster.
15 And when the ship was caught in it, and unable to head against the wind, we let her go and were driven.
