Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Acts 26
²⁹ And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains."
³⁰ When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them;
³¹ and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains."
³² Then Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
Acts 27
¹ And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.
² So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.
³ And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care.
⁴ When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
⁵ And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
⁶ There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.
⁷ When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete off Salmone.
