August Theme:
I Find Belonging
9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now
dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised
them,
10 saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with
disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also
our lives."
11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the
helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken
by Paul.
12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the
majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means
they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the
southwest and northwest, and winter there.
