Acts 27:8

Acts 27:8

6 There the centurion found ^aan Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.

7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of ^aCrete off Salmone.

8 Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

Paul’s Warning Ignored

9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous ^abecause the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,

10 saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.”

11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.

<< Acts 27:7

The Fair Havens - This port still remains, and is known by the same name; it was situated towards the northern extremity of the island.

Was the city of Lasea - There is no city of this name now remaining: the Codex Alexandrinus reads , Alassa; probably Lysia, near the port of Gortyna, to the eastward.
