Acts 27:11-13

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹¹ The officer did not listen to what Paul said. But he listened to the captain and the owner of the boat.

¹² This place was not a good place for the boat to stay through the winter months of the year. So most of the men wanted to go on. They thought they might be able to reach Phoenicia and stay there for the winter. Phoenicia is a good place on the island of Crete. Boats can stay there. The winds do not blow against them.

¹³ When the south wind began to blow a little, they thought they had what they wanted. So they started off. They went along very close to the land of Crete.
