Soldiers take Paul to Rome
27 Some time after that, Festus decided that we should sail to Italy. So he commanded a soldier called Julius to guard Paul and some other prisoners. Julius was an officer in the Roman army. He had authority over 100 soldiers in a group called ‘The Emperor Augustus Group’.[a]
2 We went onto a ship that had come from Adramyttium. This ship was ready to leave. It would sail to the towns on the coast of Asia region. A man called Aristarchus also sailed with us. He came from a city in Macedonia called Thessalonica.
3 The next day after we left Caesarea, we arrived at Sidon. Julius was kind to Paul. He said, ‘Paul, you can go and visit your friends here. They can give you anything that you need.’ 4 Then we sailed out across the sea again. But the wind was blowing against our ship. So we sailed round the island called Cyprus. We sailed on the side of the island where the wind was not strong. 5 When we were near to Cilicia and Pamphylia, we sailed straight across the sea. Then we arrived at Myra, in the region called Lycia. 6 The Roman officer found another ship there. It had sailed from Alexandria and it would sail to Italy. So the officer put us on this ship. 7 We sailed slowly for several days. It was difficult to sail, but after some time we arrived near the town of Cnidus. Because of the strong wind, we could not continue to sail in that direction. So we sailed along the side of the island called Crete, where the wind was not strong. We sailed past the point of land called Salmone. 8 It was still difficult to sail, so we sailed near to the coast. Then we arrived at a place called ‘Safe Port’. This port was near to the town of Lasea.
9 We remained there for many days. By then it had become dangerous to continue the journey. It was already after the Day of Atonement.[b]
So Paul spoke to the army officer and to the sailors. 10 He said, ‘Friends, I understand that now our journey will be dangerous. The ship may break in pieces. You may lose the things that the ship is carrying. All of us may even die.’ 11 But the army officer did not believe what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the owner of the ship and the captain said.[c]
12 This port was not a good place for a ship to remain during the winter. Most of the men on the ship wanted to continue the journey. They wanted to sail as far as Phoenix, if they could get there. They could stay there for the winter. Phoenix was a port on the island called Crete. It was open to the sea both to the south-west and to the north-west.[d]
The ship is in a storm
13 The wind began to blow from the south, but it was not strong. So the sailors thought, ‘Now we can do what we wanted to do. We can sail to Phoenix.’ So they pulled up the ship's anchor and left the port. Then we sailed as near as we could to the coast of Crete.
14 But soon a very strong wind began to blow. This wind blew from the north-east and it blew strongly across the island. 15 The storm hit the ship very powerfully. It was not possible for the sailors to sail the ship straight into the wind. So they did not try to do that any more. Instead, they let the wind blow the ship along. 16 After that, we passed the south end of a small island called Cauda. Here we found a place where the wind did not blow so strongly. The sailors lifted the ship's small boat out of the water to make it safe. 17 They tied it on the ship with ropes. Then they tied some more ropes under the ship so that it would not break in pieces. The men were afraid of what might happen. There were some places along the coast of Libya where the water was not very deep. The ship might hit one of these places and then it might break. So they took the ship's largest sail down. Then they let the wind blow the ship along. 18 The strong storm continued to blow against the ship. The ship was carrying many things. So the next day, the sailors threw some of these things into the sea. 19 The day after that, they took hold of the sails and ropes and they threw them into the sea. 20 For many days, we did not see the sun or any stars.[e] The storm continued to blow strongly. So then we thought, ‘It is not possible for us to remain alive.’
21 The men on the ship had not eaten any food for a long time. So Paul stood in front of them and he said, ‘Men, you should have listened to me! We should not have sailed away from Crete. If we had not left there, the ship and everything on it would still be safe. 22 Now I ask you, please be brave. The storm will completely destroy the ship, but not one of you will die. 23 Last night one of God's angels spoke to me. I am a servant of God and I belong to him. He sent his angel to come to me. 24 The angel said, “Paul, do not be afraid. You must go to Rome and Caesar will judge you there. Because of you, God will be kind to all the people on the ship with you. None of them will die.” 25 Because of the angel's message, I say to you, “Be brave, my friends!” I trust God. I know that everything will happen in the way that the angel told me. 26 But the wind will blow the ship so that we hit an island.’
27 The storm had continued for 14 days and nights. The strong wind was blowing the ship across the Mediterranean Sea. About midnight, the sailors thought that we were near to the land. 28 So they used a rope to measure how deep the water was. They saw that the water was nearly 40 metres deep. A short time later they did this again. This time the water was only 30 metres deep. 29 The sailors were afraid that the ship would hit some rocks. So they dropped four anchors on ropes from the back of the ship into the sea.
After that, they prayed that dawn would come soon. 30 Some of the sailors tried to leave the ship. They put the small boat into the sea. They tried to go away secretly. They said, ‘We are going to the front of the ship to put some more anchors down into the sea.’ But that was not true. 31 Paul said to the army officer and to the soldiers, ‘These sailors must stay on the ship. If they do not stay, you will not be safe. You will die.’ 32 So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the small boat to the ship. The small boat fell into the water and the wind blew it away.
33 Now it was almost dawn. Paul said to everyone, ‘Please eat some food. You have now waited for 14 days for the storm to stop. You did not know what would happen. You have not eaten anything during all that time. 34 You must eat some food now. Then you will be strong enough to stay alive. None of you will die. You will not even lose one hair from your head.’
35 After Paul said this, he took some bread in his hands. He stood in front of them all and he thanked God for the bread. Then he broke the bread into pieces and he began to eat it. 36 Everyone became less afraid and we all ate some food. 37 There were 276 people on the ship. 38 After everyone had eaten enough, the sailors threw bags of wheat off the ship into the sea. Then the ship was not so heavy.[f]
The sea completely destroys the ship
39 In the morning, the ship was near to some land, but the sailors did not recognize the place. They saw a place on the shore where there was a lot of sand. They wanted to drive the ship onto the sand. 40 So the sailors cut the ropes which had the anchors on them. They left the anchors there in the sea. They also removed the ropes which had tied the rudders. Then they raised the sail at the front of the ship. Now the wind could blow the ship straight towards the shore. 41 But there was a place in the sea where the water was not deep. The ship sailed onto the sand in this place and it stayed there. The front of the ship pushed into the sand and it could not move. The sea was very strong and it hit against the back of the ship. As a result, the back of the ship broke into pieces.
42 The soldiers decided to kill the prisoners that they were guarding. They did not want these men to swim to the land and escape. 43 But the army officer wanted to save Paul. So he commanded the soldiers not to kill the men. Instead he said, ‘Everyone who can swim, jump into the water first. Then swim to the shore. 44 You other people must follow them. Hold on to pieces of wood, or pieces of the ship.’
In this way all of us got safely out of the sea and we arrived on the land.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Sailing for Rome
27 When it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment.(A) 2 So when we had boarded a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, intending to sail to ports along the coast of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.(B) 3 The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.(C) 4 When we had put out to sea from there, we sailed along the northern coast[a] of Cyprus because the winds were against us. 5 After sailing through the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.(D) 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board. 7 Sailing slowly for many days, we came with difficulty as far as Cnidus. Since the wind did not allow us to approach it, we sailed along the south side[b] of Crete off Salmone. 8 With yet more difficulty we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens near the city of Lasea.
Paul’s Advice Ignored
9 By now much time had passed, and the voyage was already dangerous. Since the Fast[c](E) was already over, Paul gave his advice 10 and told them, “Men, I can see that this voyage is headed toward damage and heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives.” 11 But the centurion paid attention to the captain and the owner of the ship rather than to what Paul said.(F) 12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to set sail from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenix, a harbor on Crete(G) open to the southwest and northwest, and to winter there.
Storm-Tossed Ship
13 When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought they had achieved their purpose. They weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14 But not long afterward, a fierce wind called the “northeaster”[d] rushed down from the island. 15 Since the ship was caught and was unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 After running under the shelter of a little island called Cauda,[e] we were barely able to get control of the skiff. 17 After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Then, fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis,[f] they lowered the drift-anchor, and in this way they were driven along. 18 Because we were being severely battered by the storm, they began to jettison the cargo the next day.(H) 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s gear overboard with their own hands.
20 For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope that we would be saved was disappearing. 21 Since many were going without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “You men should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete and sustain this damage and loss. 22 Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship. 23 For this night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by me,(I) 24 and said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And, look! God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’ 25 Therefore, take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me.(J) 26 However, we must run aground on a certain island.”(K)
27 When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea,[g] and in the middle of the night the sailors thought they were approaching land.[h] 28 They took a sounding and found it to be 120 feet[i] deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be 90 feet[j] deep. 29 Then, fearing we might run aground in some rocky place, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come.
30 Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow. 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 the ropes holding the skiff and let it drop away.
33 When it was about daylight, Paul urged them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and going without food, having eaten nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take some food. For this has to do with your survival, since none of you will lose a hair from your head.”(L) 35 After he said these things and had taken some bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all of them, and when he broke it, he began to eat.(M) 36 They all became encouraged and took food themselves. 37 In all there were 276 of us on the ship.(N) 38 When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the grain overboard into the sea.
Shipwreck
39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land but sighted a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore if they could.(O) 40 After casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and headed for the beach. 41 But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow jammed fast and remained immovable, while the stern began to break up by the pounding of the waves.
42 The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners so that no one could swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion kept them from carrying out their plan because he wanted to save Paul, so he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land. 44 The rest were to follow, some on planks and some on debris from the ship. In this way, everyone safely reached the shore.(P)

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.

27 非 斯 都 既 然 定 規 了 ， 叫 我 們 坐 船 往 義 大 利 去 ， 便 將 保 羅 和 別 的 囚 犯 交 給 御 營 裡 的 一 個 百 夫 長 ， 名 叫 猶 流 。
2 有 一 隻 亞 大 米 田 的 船 ， 要 沿 著 亞 西 亞 一 帶 地 方 的 海 邊 走 ， 我 們 就 上 了 那 船 開 行 ； 有 馬 其 頓 的 帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 人 亞 里 達 古 和 我 們 同 去 。
3 第 二 天 ， 到 了 西 頓 ； 猶 流 寬 待 保 羅 ， 准 他 往 朋 友 那 裡 去 ， 受 他 們 的 照 應 。
4 從 那 裡 又 開 船 ， 因 為 風 不 順 ， 就 貼 著 居 比 路 背 風 岸 行 去 。
5 過 了 基 利 家 、 旁 非 利 亞 前 面 的 海 ， 就 到 了 呂 家 的 每 拉 。
6 在 那 裡 ， 百 夫 長 遇 見 一 隻 亞 力 山 大 的 船 ， 要 往 義 大 利 去 ， 便 叫 我 們 上 了 那 船 。
7 一 連 多 日 ， 船 行 得 慢 ， 僅 僅 來 到 革 尼 土 的 對 面 。 因 為 被 風 攔 阻 ， 就 貼 著 革 哩 底 背 風 岸 ， 從 撒 摩 尼 對 面 行 過 。
8 我 們 沿 岸 行 走 ， 僅 僅 來 到 一 個 地 方 ， 名 叫 佳 澳 ； 離 那 裡 不 遠 ， 有 拉 西 亞 城 。
9 走 的 日 子 多 了 ， 已 經 過 了 禁 食 的 節 期 ， 行 船 又 危 險 ， 保 羅 就 勸 眾 人 說 ：
10 眾 位 ， 我 看 這 次 行 船 ， 不 但 貨 物 和 船 要 受 傷 損 ， 大 遭 破 壞 ， 連 我 們 的 性 命 也 難 保 。
11 但 百 夫 長 信 從 掌 船 的 和 船 主 ， 不 信 從 保 羅 所 說 的 。
12 且 因 在 這 海 口 過 冬 不 便 ， 船 上 的 人 就 多 半 說 ： 不 如 開 船 離 開 這 地 方 ， 或 者 能 到 非 尼 基 過 冬 。 非 尼 基 是 革 哩 底 的 一 個 海 口 ， 一 面 朝 東 北 ， 一 面 朝 東 南 。
13 這 時 ， 微 微 起 了 南 風 ， 他 們 以 為 得 意 ， 就 起 了 錨 ， 貼 近 革 哩 底 行 去 。
14 不 多 幾 時 ， 狂 風 從 島 上 撲 下 來 ； 那 風 名 叫 友 拉 革 羅 。
15 船 被 風 抓 住 ， 敵 不 住 風 ， 我 們 就 任 風 颳 去 。
16 貼 著 一 個 小 島 的 背 風 岸 奔 行 ， 那 島 名 叫 高 大 ， 在 那 裡 僅 僅 收 住 了 小 船 。
17 既 然 把 小 船 拉 上 來 ， 就 用 纜 索 捆 綁 船 底 ， 又 恐 怕 在 賽 耳 底 沙 灘 上 擱 了 淺 ， 就 落 下 篷 來 ， 任 船 飄 去 。
18 我 們 被 風 浪 逼 得 甚 急 ， 第 二 天 眾 人 就 把 貨 物 拋 在 海 裡 。
19 到 第 三 天 ， 他 們 又 親 手 把 船 上 的 器 具 拋 棄 了 。
20 太 陽 和 星 辰 多 日 不 顯 露 ， 又 有 狂 風 大 浪 催 逼 ， 我 們 得 救 的 指 望 就 都 絕 了 。
21 眾 人 多 日 沒 有 吃 甚 麼 ， 保 羅 就 出 來 站 在 他 們 中 間 ， 說 ： 眾 位 ， 你 們 本 該 聽 我 的 話 ， 不 離 開 革 哩 底 ， 免 得 遭 這 樣 的 傷 損 破 壞 。
22 現 在 我 還 勸 你 們 放 心 ， 你 們 的 性 命 一 個 也 不 失 喪 ， 惟 獨 失 喪 這 船 。
23 因 我 所 屬 所 事 奉 的 神 ， 他 的 使 者 昨 夜 站 在 我 旁 邊 ， 說 ：
24 保 羅 ， 不 要 害 怕 ， 你 必 定 站 在 該 撒 面 前 ， 並 且 與 你 同 船 的 人 ， 神 都 賜 給 你 了 。
25 所 以 眾 位 可 以 放 心 ， 我 信 神 他 怎 樣 對 我 說 ： 事 情 也 要 怎 樣 成 就 。
26 只 是 我 們 必 要 撞 在 一 個 島 上 。
27 到 了 第 十 四 天 夜 間 ， 船 在 亞 底 亞 海 飄 來 飄 去 。 約 到 半 夜 ， 水 手 以 為 漸 近 旱 地 ，
28 就 探 深 淺 ， 探 得 有 十 二 丈 ； 稍 往 前 行 ， 又 探 深 淺 ， 探 得 有 九 丈 。
29 恐 怕 撞 在 石 頭 上 ， 就 從 船 尾 拋 下 四 個 錨 ， 盼 望 天 亮 。
30 水 手 想 要 逃 出 船 去 ， 把 小 船 放 在 海 裡 ， 假 作 要 從 船 頭 拋 錨 的 樣 子 。
31 保 羅 對 百 夫 長 和 兵 丁 說 ： 這 些 人 若 不 等 在 船 上 ， 你 們 必 不 能 得 救 。
32 於 是 兵 丁 砍 斷 小 船 的 繩 子 ， 由 他 飄 去 。
33 天 漸 亮 的 時 候 ， 保 羅 勸 眾 人 都 吃 飯 ， 說 ： 你 們 懸 望 忍 餓 不 吃 甚 麼 ， 已 經 十 四 天 了 。
34 所 以 我 勸 你 們 吃 飯 ， 這 是 關 乎 你 們 救 命 的 事 ； 因 為 你 們 各 人 連 一 根 頭 髮 也 不 至 於 損 壞 。
35 保 羅 說 了 這 話 ， 就 拿 著 餅 ， 在 眾 人 面 前 祝 謝 了 神 ， 擘 開 吃 。
36 於 是 他 們 都 放 下 心 ， 也 就 吃 了 。
37 我 們 在 船 上 的 共 有 二 百 七 十 六 個 人 。
38 他 們 吃 飽 了 ， 就 把 船 上 的 麥 子 拋 在 海 裡 ， 為 要 叫 船 輕 一 點 。
39 到 了 天 亮 ， 他 們 不 認 識 那 地 方 ， 但 見 一 個 海 灣 ， 有 岸 可 登 ， 就 商 議 能 把 船 攏 進 去 不 能 。
40 於 是 砍 斷 纜 索 ， 棄 錨 在 海 裡 ； 同 時 也 鬆 開 舵 繩 ， 拉 起 頭 篷 ， 順 著 風 向 岸 行 去 。
41 但 遇 著 兩 水 夾 流 的 地 方 ， 就 把 船 擱 了 淺 ； 船 頭 膠 住 不 動 ， 船 尾 被 浪 的 猛 力 衝 壞 。
42 兵 丁 的 意 思 要 把 囚 犯 殺 了 ， 恐 怕 有 洑 水 脫 逃 的 。
43 但 百 夫 長 要 救 保 羅 ， 不 准 他 們 任 意 而 行 ， 就 吩 咐 會 洑 水 的 ， 跳 下 水 去 先 上 岸 ；
44 其 餘 的 人 可 以 用 板 子 或 船 上 的 零 碎 東 西 上 岸 。 這 樣 ， 眾 人 都 得 了 救 ， 上 了 岸 。
