The Apostle Paul, 63 CE: Yom Kippur

Earliest Copy of the Pauline EpistlesPaul was taken prisoner in Caesarea and was later transported via boat to Rome for trial.  Storms disrupted the journey, which is documented in the Book of Acts.  “The Fast” (i.e. Yom Kippur) is referenced in the writings of Paul’s journey:

“Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.” –Acts 27:9-10, King James Bible
