Handelinge 27 meld die gebeure van Sept/Okt 58/59
[1] waartydens Paulus na 'n twee jaar lange aanhouding in Caesarea, as gevangene aan boord 'n skip van Adramittium gaan met twee ander Christene, Lukas en Aristárchos, as reisgenote. Hulle het die see dan vanaf Sidon en Siprus oorgesteek en Mira in Lisië bereik, vanwaar die skip waarskynlik die reis langs die Asiatiese kus sou voortsit tot in sy tuishawe in Misië, benoorde van Efese. Daarom het Július, die offisier van die keiserlike regiment, 'n Aleksandrynse skip gekry met Italië as bestemming, en die gevangenes is oorgeplaas. Hulle kon die beskutte suidkus van Kreta moeisaam bereik en bevaar tot by Mooi Hawens, naby Lasea. Die anker is hier opnuut gelig en voortgedu deur 'n ligte bries het hulle afgevaar met Feniks, 40 myl kuslangs, as hul beoogde bestemming. Kort voor lank het 'n stormwind, die sg. Eurakilon, egter van die land af opgesteek en die skip met 276 passasiers is meegesleur op 'n veelbewoë oorlewingstog.

Acts 27 reports the events of Sept/Oct 58/59
[2] during which Paul, after a two-year detention in Caesarea, boarded a ship of Adramittium as prisoner, accompanied by two Christians, Luke and Aristarchus, as traveling companions. They then crossed the sea from Sidon and Cyprus and reached Mira in Licia, from where the ship likely continued its journey along the Asian coast to its home port in Mycia, north of Ephesus. Therefore, Julius, the officer of the imperial regiment, secured an Alexandrian ship with Italy as its destination, and the prisoners were transferred. With difficulty they were able to reach the sheltered southern coastline of Crete and navigate it to Fair Havens, near Lasea. Here the anchor was lifted again and they sailed, aided by a light breeze, along the coast with Port Phenice, 40 miles distant, as their next destination. Before long however, a strong wind or so-called Eurakilon, carried the ship with its 276 passengers offshore on a hazardous adventure.
