But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus" band.

So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus" disciple:

Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
