Acts 27:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Then, crossing the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.[a]
Storm and Shipwreck. 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship[b] that was bound for Italy and put us on board. 7 For a good many days, we made little headway, and we experienced difficulty in reaching Cnidus.[c] Then, as the wind continued to pose difficulties, we sailed for the sheltered side of Crete off Salmone.
