保罗坐船往意大利去
27 非斯都既然定规了叫我们坐船往意大利去，便将保罗和别的囚犯交给御营里的一个百夫长，名叫犹流。 2 有一只亚大米田的船要沿着亚细亚一带地方的海边走，我们就上了那船开行，有马其顿的帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和我们同去。 3 第二天，到了西顿，犹流宽待保罗，准他往朋友那里去，受他们的照应。 4 从那里又开船，因为风不顺，就贴着塞浦路斯背风岸行去。 5 过了基利家、旁非利亚前面的海，就到了吕家的每拉。 6 在那里，百夫长遇见一只亚历山大的船要往意大利去，便叫我们上了那船。 7 一连多日，船行得慢，仅仅来到革尼土的对面。因为被风拦阻，就贴着克里特背风岸，从撒摩尼对面行过。 8 我们沿岸行走，仅仅来到一个地方，名叫佳澳，离那里不远有拉西亚城。
保罗劝众
9 走的日子多了，已经过了禁食的节期，行船又危险，保罗就劝众人说： 10 “众位，我看这次行船，不但货物和船要受伤损，大遭破坏，连我们的性命也难保。” 11 但百夫长信从掌船的和船主，不信从保罗所说的。 12 且因在这海口过冬不便，船上的人就多半说，不如开船离开这地方，或者能到非尼基过冬。非尼基是克里特的一个海口，一面朝东北，一面朝东南。 13 这时微微起了南风，他们以为得意，就起了锚，贴近克里特行去。
水路的危险
14 不多几时，狂风从岛上扑下来，那风名叫友拉革罗。 15 船被风抓住，敌不住风，我们就任风刮去。 16 贴着一个小岛的背风岸奔行，那岛名叫高大，在那里仅仅收住了小船。 17 既然把小船拉上来，就用缆索捆绑船底，又恐怕在赛耳底沙滩上搁了浅，就落下篷来，任船飘去。 18 我们被风浪逼得甚急，第二天众人就把货物抛在海里。 19 到第三天，他们又亲手把船上的器具抛弃了。 20 太阳和星辰多日不显露，又有狂风大浪催逼，我们得救的指望就都绝了。
安慰众人
21 众人多日没有吃什么，保罗就出来站在他们中间，说：“众位，你们本该听我的话不离开克里特，免得遭这样的伤损破坏。 22 现在我还劝你们放心，你们的性命一个也不失丧，唯独失丧这船。 23 因我所属、所侍奉的神，他的使者昨夜站在我旁边说： 24 ‘保罗，不要害怕！你必定站在恺撒面前；并且与你同船的人，神都赐给你了。’ 25 所以众位可以放心，我信神他怎样对我说，事情也要怎样成就。 26 只是我们必要撞在一个岛上。”
水手想逃
27 到了第十四天夜间，船在亚得里亚海飘来飘去，约到半夜，水手以为渐近旱地， 28 就探深浅，探得有十二丈；稍往前行，又探深浅，探得有九丈。 29 恐怕撞在石头上，就从船尾抛下四个锚，盼望天亮。 30 水手想要逃出船去，把小船放在海里，假作要从船头抛锚的样子。 31 保罗对百夫长和兵丁说：“这些人若不等在船上，你们必不能得救。” 32 于是兵丁砍断小船的绳子，由它飘去。 33 天渐亮的时候，保罗劝众人都吃饭，说：“你们悬望忍饿不吃什么，已经十四天了。 34 所以我劝你们吃饭，这是关乎你们救命的事，因为你们各人连一根头发也不至于损坏。” 35 保罗说了这话，就拿着饼，在众人面前祝谢了神，掰开吃。 36 于是他们都放下心，也就吃了。
船被大浪损坏
37 我们在船上的共有二百七十六个人。 38 他们吃饱了，就把船上的麦子抛在海里，为要叫船轻一点。 39 到了天亮，他们不认识那地方，但见一个海湾有岸可登，就商议能把船拢进去不能。 40 于是砍断缆索，弃锚在海里，同时也松开舵绳，拉起头篷，顺着风向岸行去。 41 但遇着两水夹流的地方，就把船搁了浅，船头胶住不动，船尾被浪的猛力冲坏。
众人得救
42 兵丁的意思要把囚犯杀了，恐怕有洑水脱逃的。 43 但百夫长要救保罗，不准他们任意而行，就吩咐会洑水的跳下水去先上岸， 44 其余的人可以用板子或船上的零碎东西上岸。这样，众人都得了救，上了岸。

往罗马出航
27 既然决定了我们要坐船往意大利去，他们就把保罗和其他一些囚犯交给皇家军团的一个名叫犹利乌斯的百夫长。 2 有一条阿德米提的船，要开往亚细亚省沿岸各地，我们就上那船出发了。有一个从帖撒罗尼迦来的马其顿人亚里达古，与我们在一起。 3 第二天，我们在西顿靠岸。犹利乌斯宽待保罗，准许他到朋友那里去接受照顾。 4 我们从那里起航，因为逆风，就沿着塞浦路斯岛的背风岸航行。 5 度过了奇里乞亚省和潘菲利亚省一带的海域，在吕基亚省的每拉登陆。 6 百夫长在那里找到了一条亚历山大的船，要开往意大利去，就安排我们上了那船。 7 一连好几天，船航行得很慢，好不容易才到了尼多斯港附近。因为风拦阻我们往前，我们就从撒摩尼岬附近经过，沿着克里特岛的背风岸航行。 8 我们沿着它航行，好不容易来到一个叫做“美丽港”的地方；离那里不远，有个城叫做拉塞亚。
不听保罗的建议
9 又过了很久，这次航程已经很危险，又因为已经过了禁食日[a]，保罗就劝大家， 10 说：“各位，我看这次航程，不仅是货物和船，就是我们的生命财产也将会受到伤害和严重的损失。” 11 可是百夫长信任了船长和船主，不信任保罗所说的， 12 而且这港口不适合过冬，大多数人就主张从那里开船，或许能够到达菲尼斯过冬。菲尼斯是克里特岛上的一个港口，一面朝西南，一面朝西北。
风暴中飘摇
13 这时，南风微微吹起，他们以为正合所愿，就起了锚，沿着克里特岛航行。 14 但是过了不久，一股叫做“东北风”的飓风，从岛上袭来。 15 船被困住，顶不住风，我们只好任凭船被刮走。 16 我们沿着一个叫做克劳达小岛的背风岸行驶的时候，好不容易才控制住救生艇。 17 水手们[b]把救生艇拖上来以后，就用缆绳绕过大船底绑好；又怕在叙尔提斯浅滩上会搁浅，就把锚放低，任船漂流。 18 我们被暴风猛烈地袭击。第二天，他们开始把货物抛在海里。 19 第三天，他们又亲手把船上的用具抛出去。
20 一连好几天见不到太阳和星星，又有暴风雨催逼着，最后我们连获救的希望都断绝了。 21 那时，大家已经很久没有吃东西了，保罗站在他们当中说：“哦，各位啊！你们当初应该听我的，不从克里特开船，省得有这样的伤害和损失。 22 只是现在我劝你们振作起来，因为你们当中不会有人失去性命，不过会失去这条船。 23 要知道，我所归属、所事奉的神，他的一位天使昨天晚上站在我身边， 24 说：‘保罗，不要怕！你必须站在凯撒面前。看哪，所有与你同船的人，神都赐给你了。’ 25 所以请各位振作起来，因为我相信神怎样对我说，事情也会怎样成就。 26 不过我们必须搁浅在一个岛上。”
27 到了第十四天的晚上，我们在亚得里亚海上飘来飘去。约在半夜，水手们认为已经靠近陆地了， 28 就测了水深，发现有三十七公尺[c]；稍往前行，再测一测，发现有二十七公尺[d]。 29 他们担心会撞到礁石，就从船尾抛下四个锚，祈盼着天亮。
30 水手们想离船逃生，就把救生艇放到海里，却假装要从船头抛锚。 31 保罗对百夫长和士兵们说：“这些人如果不留在船上，你们就不能获救。” 32 于是士兵们就把救生艇的绳索砍断，由它漂去。
33 天快亮的时候[e]，保罗劝大家用饭，说：“你们一直挨饿等候，什么都不吃，今天是第十四天了。 34 所以我劝你们用饭，因为这是关于你们得救的事。要知道，你们中间，没有一个人会失去[f]一根头发。” 35 说完这些话，保罗就拿起饼，在大家面前感谢神，然后掰开来，开始吃。 36 于是大家受到鼓励，也吃了饭。 37 我们在船上的，共有两百七十六个人[g]。 38 大家吃饱了饭，就把麦子扔到海里，减轻船的负荷。
船只遇难
39 天亮的时候，他们虽然不认识那地方，却看见一个有沙滩的海湾，就决定尽可能地把船拢进去。 40 于是他们砍断了锚，把它们丢弃在海里，同时松开舵绳，拉起了前帆，顺着风向岸前进。 41 但遇到海水夹流的地方，船就搁了浅，船头被卡住，动弹不得，而船尾也开始被波浪的猛力冲散了。
42 士兵们的计划是要把囚犯杀了，免得有人游泳逃脱。 43 可是百夫长想救保罗，就拦阻了他们的计划，命令会游泳的人跳下船，先到岸上去， 44 其余的人，有的用木板，有的用船上的东西跟着[h]；这样，大家就都获救上岸了。

Paul Sails for Rome
27 When it was decided that we(A) would sail for Italy,(B) Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.(C) 2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia,(D) and we put out to sea. Aristarchus,(E) a Macedonian(F) from Thessalonica,(G) was with us.
3 The next day we landed at Sidon;(H) and Julius, in kindness to Paul,(I) allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.(J) 4 From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.(K) 5 When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia(L) and Pamphylia,(M) we landed at Myra in Lycia. 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship(N) sailing for Italy(O) and put us on board. 7 We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course,(P) we sailed to the lee of Crete,(Q) opposite Salmone. 8 We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9 Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement.[a](R) So Paul warned them, 10 “Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”(S) 11 But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship. 12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete,(T) facing both southwest and northwest.
The Storm
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14 Before very long, a wind of hurricane force,(U) called the Northeaster, swept down from the island. 15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat(V) secure, 17 so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground(W) on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor[b] and let the ship be driven along. 18 We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.(X) 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice(Y) not to sail from Crete;(Z) then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage,(AA) because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 23 Last night an angel(AB) of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve(AC) stood beside me(AD) 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar;(AE) and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’(AF) 25 So keep up your courage,(AG) men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.(AH) 26 Nevertheless, we must run aground(AI) on some island.”(AJ)
The Shipwreck
27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic[c] Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land. 28 They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet[d] deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet[e] deep. 29 Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight. 30 In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat(AK) down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow. 31 Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”(AL) 32 So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.
33 Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. “For the last fourteen days,” he said, “you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven’t eaten anything. 34 Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”(AM) 35 After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it(AN) and began to eat. 36 They were all encouraged(AO) and ate some food themselves. 37 Altogether there were 276 of us on board. 38 When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.(AP)
39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach,(AQ) where they decided to run the ship aground if they could. 40 Cutting loose the anchors,(AR) they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach. 41 But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.(AS)
42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping. 43 But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life(AT) and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land. 44 The rest were to get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.(AU)

King James Version
27 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 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.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

The Voyage to Rome Begins
27 And when (A)it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment. 2 So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. (B)Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us. 3 And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius (C)treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care. 4 When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 There the centurion found (D)an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of (E)Crete off Salmone. 8 Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
Paul’s Warning Ignored
9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous (F)because [a]the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” 11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. 12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
In the Tempest
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete. 14 But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called [b]Euroclydon. 15 So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her [c]drive. 16 And running under the shelter of an island called [d]Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty. 17 When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the [e]Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven. 18 And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship. 19 On the third day (G)we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands. 20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.
21 But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. 22 And now I urge you to take [f]heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 (H)For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and (I)whom I serve, 24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 Therefore take heart, men, (J)for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. 26 However, (K)we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land. 28 And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms. 29 Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and [g]prayed for day to come. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.
33 And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, (L)since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread and (M)gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat. 36 Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves. 37 And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six (N)persons on the ship. 38 So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.
Shipwrecked on Malta
39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible. 40 And they [h]let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore. 41 But striking [i]a place where two seas met, (O)they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was (P)that they all escaped safely to land.
