Acts 27:1,9-11

Acts 27:1,9-11 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. After Paul had appealed to Caesar, he was turned over to a Roman captain named Julius. Julius was kind to Paul, but didn’t want to hang around waiting for good sailing conditions. He wanted to get back home to Rome, where he was stationed. Paul warned Julius not to sail so late in the season, but Julius ignored Paul. Instead, Julius listened to the ship captain, who said what Julius wanted to hear. The master and owner of the ship wanted to get his stuff to Rome to sell it for a handsome profit. Tomorrow we’ll see how this worked out for Paul, Julius, and the ship captain. Who do you think was right? Tomorrow, we’ll see.
