Acts 27:8
Compare all
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 27:8

Acts 27:8 Came unto a place. With difficulty they reached a placed called The fair havens. On the south coast of Crete. It retains the same name to this day. It is a roadstead, near the city [of] Lasea. It was supposed that all trace of this city was lost until recently, but it is now known that the natives apply this name to the ruins of an ancient town about five miles from Fair Havens.
