Acts 27:11
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
In context
9 By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
10 “Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
11 But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
