Acts 27:11

Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

Nevertheless {G1161} the centurion {G1543} believed {G3982} the master {G2942} and {G2532} the owner of the ship {G3490}, more {G3123} than {G2228} those things which were spoken {G3004} by {G5259} Paul {G3972}.

However, the officer paid more attention to the pilot and the ship’s owner than to what Sha’ul said.

But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.

But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
