44:026:027 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets?
I know that thou
believest.
44:026:028 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou
persuadest me to be a
Christian.
44:026:029 And Paul said, I would to God, that not
only thou, but also
all
that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether
such
as I am, except these bonds.
44:026:030 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose
up, and the
governor,
and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
44:026:031 And when they were gone aside, they talked
between themselves,
saying,
This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
44:026:032 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man
might have been set at
liberty,
if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
44:027:001 And when it was determined that we should
sail into Italy,
they
delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one
named
Julius,
a centurion of Augustus’ band.
44:027:002 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium,
we launched, meaning
to
sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian
of
Thessalonica, being with us.
44:027:003 And the next day we touched at Sidon.
And Julius courteously
entreated
Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to
refresh
himself.
44:027:004 And when we had launched from thence, we
sailed under Cyprus,
because
the winds were contrary.
44:027:005 And when we had sailed over the sea of
Cilicia and Pamphylia,
we
came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
44:027:006 And there the centurion found a ship of
Alexandria sailing
into
Italy; and he put us therein.
44:027:007 And when we had sailed slowly many days,
and scarce were come
over
against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed
under
Crete, over against Salmone;
44:027:008 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place
which is called The
fair
havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
44:027:009 Now when much time was spent, and when
sailing was now
dangerous,
because the fast was now already past, Paul
admonished
them,
44:027:010 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that
this voyage will be
with
hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship,
but
also of our lives.
44:027:011 Nevertheless the centurion believed the
master and the owner
of
the ship, more than those things which were spoken
by Paul.
44:027:012 And because the haven was not commodious
to winter in, the
more
part advised to depart thence also, if by any means
they
might
attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an
haven
of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north
west.
