Acts 27:12 in Context — Acts 27
10 Dizendo-lhes: Homens, eu vejo que a navegação vai ser com violência e muito dano, não somente de carga e do navio, mas também de nossas vidas.
11 Porém o centurião cria mais no capitão e no dono do navio do que no que Paulo dizia.
12 E não sendo aquele porto adequado para passar o inverno, a maioria preferiu partir dali, para ver se podiam chegar a Fênix, que é um porto de Creta, voltada para o lado do vento sudoeste e noroeste, para ali passarem o inverno.
13 E ao ventar brandamente ao sul, pareceu-lhes que eles já tinham o que queriam; e levantando a vela, foram por perto da costa de Creta.
14 Mas não muito depois houve contra ela um vento violento, chamado Euroaquilão.
