Asia
Today: western Turkey (western Anatolia)
A Roman province in what is now western Turkey, with Ephesus as its main city.
Paul taught two years in Ephesus, and everyone in the province heard the word of the Lord (Acts 19:10). The seven assemblies of Revelation were there (Rev 1:4).
1And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan Cohort.
2 · This verse (above)
3And the next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, allowed him to go to his friends and receive care.

What does Paul tell the men on the ship as the storm drags on, and why? (vv. 21-26)
2. What it means
When the sailors want to escape in the boat, why does Paul say they must stay on the ship? (vv. 30-32)
3. How I live it
In the storm, Paul urged everyone to eat and not lose hope (vv. 33-36). How do you stay calm and look after others in a crisis?
