Acts 27:5

CiliciaLyciaMyraPamphylia

3 The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.

4 After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.

6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

7 After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
