The Voyage to Rome Begins

1 And when ait was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.  
2 So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. aAristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.  
3 And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius atreated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care.  
4 When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

Acts 27:3

next day we touched at Sidon—To reach this ancient and celebrated Mediterranean port, about seventy miles north from Cæsarea, in one day, they must have had a fair wind.

Julius courteously—(See on Acts 27:1).

gave him liberty to go to his friends—no doubt disciples, gained, it would seem, by degrees, all along the Phœnician coast since the first preaching there (see on Acts 11:19 and Acts 21:4).

to refresh himself—which after his long confinement would not be unnecessary. Such small personal details are in this case extremely interesting.
