026:030 So the King rose, and the Governor, and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them; 026:031 and, having withdrawn, they talked to one another and said, "This man is doing nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment." 026:032 And Agrippa said to Festus, "He might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. |
