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.”^(A)

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.^(A)

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^(B) 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.^(C)

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^(A) not to sail from Crete;^(B) then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. ²² But now I urge you to keep up your courage,^(C) because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. ²³ Last night an angel^(D) of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve^(E) stood beside me^{(F) 24} and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar;^(G) and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’^{(H) 25} So keep up your courage,^(I) men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.^{(J) 26} Nevertheless, we must run aground^(K) on some island.”^(L)

³⁰ As for me, this mystery has been revealed^(A) to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.
