might become such as I am--except these chains."
026:030 So the King rose, and the Governor, and Bernice, and those
who were sitting with them;
026:031 and, having withdrawn, they talked to one another and said,
"This man is doing nothing for which he deserves
death or imprisonment."
026:032 And Agrippa said to Festus, "He might have been set at liberty,
if he had not appealed to Caesar."
027:001 Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they handed
over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius,
a Captain of the Augustan battalion;
027:002 and going on board a ship of Adramyttium which was about
to sail to the ports of the province of Asia, we put
to sea; Aristarchus, the Macedonian, from Thessalonica,
forming one of our party.
027:003 The next day we put in at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul
with thoughtful kindness and allowed him to visit his friends
and profit by their generous care.
027:004 Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus,
because the winds were against us;
027:005 and, sailing the whole length of the sea that lies off Cilicia
and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
027:006 There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy,
and put us on board of her.
027:007 It took several days of slow sailing for us to come with
difficulty off Cnidus; from which point, as the wind did not
allow us to get on in the direct course, we ran under the lee
of Crete by Salmone.
027:008 Then, coasting along with difficulty, we reached a place called
`Fair Havens,' near the town of Lasea.
