Acts 27:12


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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.


World English Bible (WEB)

Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.


Strong's King James

And{G1161} because{G5225} the haven{G3040} was{G5225}{(G5723)} not commodious{G428} to{G4314} winter in{G3915}, the more part{G4119} advised{G1012}{G5087}{(G5639)} to depart{G321}{(G5683)} thence also{G2547}, if{G1513} by any means{G4458} they might{G1410}{(G5739)} attain{G2658}{(G5660)} to{G1519} Phenice{G5405}, and there to winter{G3914}{(G5658)}; which is an haven{G3040} of Crete{G2914}, and lieth{G991}{(G5723)} toward{G2596} the south west{G3047} and{G2532}{G2596} north west{G5566}.


The F.O.G *
