Acts 27:12

---

← Acts 27:11	Acts 27:12 (KJV)	Acts 27:13 →
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.	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.	And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete.
