Acts of the Apostles 27:13

In context

11But the centurion trusted the helmsman and the ship’s owner rather than what Paul said. 12Since the harbor was unsuitable for wintering, most of them were in favor of putting out from there in the hope of reaching Phoenix and wintering at that harbor of Crete, which faces southwest and northwest. 13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had what they wanted, weighed anchor and coasted along Crete, close inshore. 14But before long a hurricane wind, the one called the Euraquilo, swept down from the island. 15The ship was caught and could not face into the wind, so we gave way and were driven along.
