1. It was decided that we would sail for Italy. An army officer named Julius, who served in the emperor’s special army, was put in charge of guarding Paul and some other prisoners on the trip.
2. We got on a ship from the city of Adramyttium that was ready to sail to different places in Asia. Aristarchus, a man from Thessalonica in Macedonia, went with us.
3. The next day we came to the city of Sidon. Julius was very good to Paul and gave him freedom to go visit his friends there, who gave him whatever he needed.
4. We left that city and sailed close to the island of Cyprus because the wind was blowing against us.
5. We went across the sea by Cilicia and Pamphylia. Then we came to the city of Myra in Lycia.
6. There the army officer found a ship from the city of Alexandria that was going to Italy. So he put us on it.
