Julius

율리오

Named at Acts 27:1 as a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band, to whom they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners. At 27:3 Julius treats Paul kindly and gives him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself. 27:6, 27:11, 27:31 and 27:43, and WEB’s 28:16, say only “the centurion,” and this collection reads that centurion as the Julius of 27:1: at 27:6 the centurion finds a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and “he put us on board”; at 27:11 the centurion gives more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul; at 27:31 Paul says to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved”; and at 27:42–43, when the soldiers’ counsel is to kill the prisoners, the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stops the soldiers from their purpose and commands that those who can swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land. At 28:16 WEB has “the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard”; the Korean Revised Version does not have these words.

ACT 27:1–8, engwebp
¹When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
²Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
³The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
⁴Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
⁵When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
⁶There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
⁷When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
⁸With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁹When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
¹⁰and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
¹¹But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
¹²Because 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 southwest and northwest.

²⁷But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
²⁸They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
²⁹Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
³⁰As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
³²Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.

³⁹When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
⁴⁰Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
⁴¹But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
⁴²The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
⁴³But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
⁴⁴and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.

¹¹After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
¹²Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
¹³From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
¹⁴where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
¹⁵From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
¹⁶When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
