ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a conversation between St. Paul's Voyage and Shipwreck. They should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus band. And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, they launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. And when they had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; and, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. After long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. This day is the fourteenth day that have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
