Acts 27:14 CPDV

¹²  And since it was not a fitting port in which to winter, the majority opinion was to sail from there, so that somehow they might be able to arrive at Phoenicia, in order to winter there, at a port of Crete, which looks out toward the southwest and northwest.

¹³  And since the south wind was blowing gently, they thought that they might reach their goal. And after they had set out from Asson, they weighed anchor at Crete.

¹⁴  But not long afterward, a violent wind came against them, which is called the Northeast Wind.

¹⁵  And once the ship had been caught in it and was not able to strive against the wind, giving over the ship to the winds, we were driven along.

¹⁶  Then, being forced along a certain island, which is called the Tail, we were barely able to hold on to the ship's lifeboat.
