Acts 27:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² And as the harbor was not well situated and so unsuitable to winter in, the majority favored the plan of putting to sea again from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenice, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and winter there.

¹³ So when the south wind blew softly, supposing they were gaining their object, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, hugging the coast.

¹⁴ But soon afterward a violent wind [of the character of a typhoon], called a northeaster, came bursting down from the island.
