The next day we arrived at Sidon. Julius was kind to Paul and allowed him to go and see his friends, to be given what he needed.

But the army officer was convinced by what the captain and the owner of the ship said, and not by what Paul said.

But Paul said to the army officer and soldiers, "If the sailors don't stay on board, you have no hope of being saved."

The argument became so violent that the commander was afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces. So he ordered his soldiers to go down into the group, get Paul away from them, and take him into the fort.

Provide some horses for Paul to ride and get him safely through to Governor Felix."

three times I was whipped by the Romans; and once I was stoned. I have been in three shipwrecks, and once I spent twenty-four hours in the water.
