Acts 27:13 Context
11Neuerthelesse, the Centurion beleeued the master and the owner of the shippe, more then those things which were spoken by Paul. 12And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, the more part aduised to depart thence also, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an hauen of Creete, and lieth toward the Southwest, and Northwest. 13And when the South wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Creete. 14But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous winde, called Euroclydon. 15And when the ship was caught, and could not beare vp into the winde, we let her driue.
