wmth - Acts:27:1-8

wmth@Acts:27:1 @ Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they handed over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius, a Captain of the Augustan battalion;

wmth@Acts:27:2 @ and going on board a ship of Adramyttium which was about to sail to the ports of the province of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, the Macedonian, from Thessalonica, forming one of our party.

wmth@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we put in at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul with thoughtful kindness and allowed him to visit his friends and profit by their generous care.

wmth@Acts:27:4 @ Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us;

wmth@Acts:27:5 @ and, sailing the whole length of the sea that lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.

wmth@Acts:27:6 @ There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.

wmth@Acts:27:7 @ It took several days of slow sailing for us to come with difficulty off Cnidus; from which point, as the wind did not allow us to get on in the direct course, we ran under the lee of Crete by Salmone.

wmth@Acts:27:8 @ Then, coasting along with difficulty, we reached a place called `Fair Havens,' near the town of Lasea.
