Paul Sails for Rome
27 When it was decided that we[a] would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment. 2 After boarding a ship from Adramyttium, which was going to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia, we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
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. 4 From there we put out to sea and sailed on the sheltered side of Cyprus, because the winds were against us. 5 We crossed the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia and landed at Myra in Lycia. 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy, and he put us on board. 7 We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Since the wind did not permit us to go further, we sailed on the sheltered side of Crete, off Salmone. 8 With difficulty we sailed along its coast and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Since so much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast[b] was already over, Paul advised them, 10 “Men, it looks to me as if the voyage is going to end with disaster and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives.” 11 But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and the owner of the ship than to what Paul was saying. 12 Since that harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenix and winter there. (Phoenix is a harbor on Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.) 13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they could carry out their plan. They raised the anchor and sailed close to the shore of Crete.
The Storm
14 But before long, a hurricane-like wind, called the “northeaster,” rushed down from the island. 15 Since the ship was caught in it and could not head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we sailed on the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we were barely able to secure the skiff.[c] 17 After hoisting it on board, the men tied ropes around the ship to reinforce it. Then, fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and in this way were driven along. 18 Because we were tossed around so violently by the storm, the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard. 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s gear overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the violent storm kept pressing down on us, finally all hope that we would be saved was disappearing.
21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice and not set sail from Crete and avoided this damage and loss. 22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because there will be no loss of life among you. Only the ship will be lost. 23 In fact, last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And surely God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’ 25 So keep up your courage, men, because I believe God that it will be exactly the way I have been told. 26 However, we must run aground on some island.”
The Shipwreck
27 When the fourteenth night came, while we were being driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea,[d] about midnight the sailors suspected that they were approaching some land. 28 They took soundings and found it to be one hundred twenty feet deep.[e] After sailing a little farther, they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet deep.[f] 29 Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
30 The sailors tried to escape from the ship and had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending they were going to put out anchors from the bow. 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “If these men do not stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut the ropes holding the skiff and let it fall away.
33 Just before daybreak, Paul urged them all to eat some food. He said, “This is the fourteenth day you have waited in suspense and have gone without food. You have eaten nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take some food because this is important for your rescue. In fact, not a hair from any of your heads will be lost.” 35 After he said these things and had taken some bread, he gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat. 36 They were all encouraged and took some food themselves. 37 In all there were 276 of us on the ship. 38 When they had eaten all they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain overboard into the sea.
39 At daybreak, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, where they planned to run the ship aground if they could. 40 They cut off the anchors, leaving them in the sea, and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then, after hoisting the foresail to the wind, they headed for the beach. 41 But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, while the stern began to break up from the pounding of the waves.
42 The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners so that no one would swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion wanted to save Paul and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make their way to land. 44 The rest were to follow, some on planks, and some on other pieces from the ship. In this way, all of them were brought safely onto land.

Paul Sails for Rome
27 And when it was decided (A)that (B)we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan (C)Cohort named Julius. 2 And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by (D)Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica. 3 The next day we put in at Sidon. And (E)Julius (F)treated Paul kindly and (G)gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for. 4 And putting out to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us. 5 And when we had sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia. 6 There the centurion found (H)a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board. 7 We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone. 8 Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.
9 Since much time had passed, and the voyage was now dangerous because even (I)the Fast[a] was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with (J)injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” 11 But the centurion paid more attention to (K)the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said. 12 And because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
The Storm at Sea
13 Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore. 14 But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, (L)struck down from the land. 15 And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda,[b] we managed with difficulty to secure the ship's boat. 17 After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would (M)run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear,[c] and thus they were driven along. 18 Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day (N)to jettison the cargo. 19 And 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 no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
21 Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, (O)you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this (P)injury and loss. 22 Yet now I urge you to (Q)take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For this very night (R)there (S)stood before me (T)an angel of the God (U)to whom I belong and (V)whom I worship, 24 and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; (W)you must stand before Caesar. And behold, (X)God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. 26 But (Y)we must (Z)run aground on some island.”
27 When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land. 28 So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms.[d] A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.[e] 29 And fearing that we might (AA)run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered (AB)the ship's boat into the sea under pretense of laying 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 away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it go.
33 As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength,[f] for (AC)not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread, and (AD)giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat. 36 Then they all (AE)were encouraged and ate some food themselves. 37 (We were in all 276[g] (AF)persons in the ship.) 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, (AG)throwing out the wheat into the sea.
The Shipwreck
39 Now when it was day, (AH)they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore. 40 So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach. 41 But striking a reef,[h] (AI)they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf. 42 (AJ)The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion, (AK)wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land, 44 and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that (AL)all were brought safely to land.

Ang Pagbiyahe ni Pablo Padulong sa Roma
27 Human sila makahukom nga palargahon kami padulong sa Italia, gitugyan nila si Pablo ug ang uban pang mga priso kang Julio. Kini si Julio kapitan sa mga sundalo nga Romanhon nga gitawag “Batalyon sa Emperador.” 2 Unya, didto sa Cesarea may usa ka barko nga gikan sa Adramitium nga hapit na molarga padulong sa mga dunggoanan sa probinsya sa Asia. Kadto mao ang among gisakyan. Miuban kanamo si Aristarkus nga taga-Tesalonica, nga sakop sa probinsya sa Macedonia. 3 Pagkasunod nga adlaw midunggo kami sa Sidon. Giatiman pag-ayo ni Julio si Pablo. Gitugotan niya si Pablo nga mobisita sa iyang mga higala didto aron matabangan siya sa iyang mga panginahanglan. 4 Gikan sa Sidon milawig kami ug didto kami miagi sa pikas nga bahin sa isla sa Cyprus nga salipod sa hangin, tungod kay ang hangin pasugat man kanamo. 5 Gitabok namo ang dagat nga atbang sa Cilicia ug Panfilia ug midunggo kami sa Mira sa probinsya sa Licia. 6 Didto nakakita ang kapitan nga si Julio ug usa ka barko nga gikan sa Alexandria nga molarga paingon sa Italia, busa gipabalhin niya kami didto.
7 Sulod sa pila ka adlaw hinay ang among paglawig, ug naglisod gayod kami hangtod nga nakaabot kami duol sa lungsod sa Nidus. Tungod kay pasugat kanamo ang hangin dili kami makadiretso sa among padulngan. Busa dinhi kami miagi sa pikas nga bahin sa isla sa Crete nga salipod sa hangin ug nakalabay kami duol sa Salmon. 8 Namaybay lamang kami, apan naglisod gayod kami hangtod nga nakaabot kami sa lugar nga gitawag ug “Maayong mga Dunggoanan.” Kini duol sa lungsod sa Lasea.
9 Nadugay kami didto hangtod nga naabtan kami sa panahon nga delikado na ang paglawig, kay milabay na ang adlaw sa Pagpuasa.[a] Busa miingon si Pablo sa among mga kauban, 10 “Gibanabana ko nga delikado na kon modiretso pa kita, ug dili lamang ang mga karga ug ang barko ang mawala kondili tingalig apil ang atong kinabuhi.” 11 Apan mas dako ug pagsalig ang kapitan sa mga sundalo sa gisulti sa kapitan ug sa tag-iya sa barko kaysa gipasidaan ni Pablo. 12 Ug tungod kay ang dunggoanan didto dili maayo nga tagoanan sa panahon sa ting-unos, kadaghanan sa among mga kauban miuyon nga mobiyahe sa tinguha nga basin pag makaabot kami sa Fenice ug didto magdugay samtang ting-unos pa. Ang Fenice usa ka dunggoanan sa Crete nga adunay maayong tagoanan kon ting-unos.
Ang Unos sa Lawod
13 Sa dihang mihinay na ang huros sa hangin gikan sa habagatan, naghunahuna ang among mga kauban nga pwede na kaming molawig. Busa gibira nila ang angkla ug milawig kami nga namaybay sa isla sa Crete. 14 Sa wala madugay, mihuros ang kusog nga hangin gikan sa amihan, nga naggikan sa isla sa Crete. 15 Sa pag-abot sa kusog nga hangin kanamo, dili na kami makaabante, busa nagpauyon na lamang kon asa kami ipadpad sa hangin. 16 Nakapasalipod kami ug gamay sa dihang miagi kami sa habagatang dapit sa isla sa Cauda. Bisan naglisod kami, nakarga pa gihapon namo sa barko ang boti[b] aron dili kini maunsa. 17 Sa dihang nakarga na, gihigot namo kini ug hugot sa barko. Ug tungod kay nahadlok sila nga mosagyad ang barko sa kabalasan duol sa Libya,[c] gipaubos nila ang layag ug nagpaanod. 18 Nagpadayon pa gayod ang kusog nga unos, busa pagkasunod adlaw nagsugod sila sa pagpanghulog sa mga kargamento sa barko didto sa dagat. 19 Sa sunod pa gayod nga adlaw, ang mga kagamitan na mismo sa barko ang ilang gipanghulog. 20 Sulod sa pila ka adlaw wala magpakita ang adlaw ug ang mga bitoon, ug wala gayod mohinay ang unos. Sa kaulahian nawad-an na kami ug paglaom nga maluwas pa.
21 Pila na ka adlaw nga ang mga tawo wala gayod makakaon, busa miingon si Pablo kanila, “Mga higala, kon naminaw pa lamang kamo kanako nga dili usa kita mogikan sa Crete, nalikayan unta nato nga mahitabo kining mga kalisod ug mga kapildihan. 22 Apan karon giaghat ko kamo nga magpakaisog tungod kay walay mamatay kanato. Ang barko lamang ang maguba. 23 Kay kagabii ang Dios nga maoy nagapanag-iya kanako ug akong gialagaran nagsugo ug anghel dinhi kanako. 24 Miingon siya, ‘Pablo, ayawg kahadlok. Kinahanglan kang moatubang sa Emperador didto sa Roma. Ug sa kalooy sa Dios ang tanan mong mga kauban dinhi sa barko maluwas tungod kanimo.’ 25 Busa mga higala, ayaw na kamo ug kahadlok, kay nagasalig ako sa Dios nga tumanon niya ang iyang gisulti kanako. 26 Apan idagsa kita ngadto sa usa ka isla.”
27 Sa ika-14 na ka gabii nga gianod kami sa bagyo sa Dagat sa Mediteraneo, mga tungang gabii na, gibanabana sa mga tripulante nga duol na kami sa baybayon. 28 Busa gitugkad nila ang dagat ug nahibaloan nila nga mga 20 ka dupa ang iyang giladmon. Wala madugay gitugkad nila pag-usab ug mga 15 na lamang ka dupa. 29 Ug tungod kay nahadlok sila nga mosagyad kami sa mga bato, gihulog nila ang upat ka angkla didto dapit sa likod sa barko. Ug nagaampo sila nga mobuntag na. 30 Buot unta mosibat ang mga tripulante sa barko. Busa gipakanaog nila ang boti ngadto sa dagat, ug nagpasumangil nga maghulog lamang sila sa mga angkla sa dulong. 31 Apan miingon si Pablo sa kapitan ug sa mga sundalo, “Kon mobiya ang mga tripulante sa barko dili kamo maluwas.” 32 Busa giputol sa mga sundalo ang mga pisi nga gihigot sa boti ug gipasagdan kini nga maanod.
33 Sa dihang kadlawon na, gipugos silang tanan ni Pablo nga mokaon. Miingon siya, “Duha na ka semana ang pagpaabot ninyo nga mahuman ang unos, ug wala gayod kamo makakaon. 34 Busa kaon una aron mabaskog kamo tungod kay walay bisan usa kaninyo nga mamatay.” 35 Human misulti niini si Pablo, mikuha siya ug pan ug sa atubangan sa tanan nagpasalamat siya sa Dios. Ug gipikas-pikas niya ang pan ug mikaon. 36 Nadasig silang tanan ug mikaon. 37 (276 kaming tanan nga nagsakay didto sa barko.) 38 Sa dihang nakakaon na ang tanan ug nabusog na, gihulog nila sa dagat ang mga dalang trigo aron mogaan-gaan ang barko.
Ang Pagkaguba sa Barko
39 Pagkabuntag, wala mahibaloi sa mga tripulante kon unsang islaha ang among nahimutangan, apan may nakita sila nga usa ka natago nga bahin sa dagat nga may baybayon, busa nagkasabot sila nga didto nila ipadunggo ang barko. 40 Busa gipamutol nila ang mga pisi nga gihigot sa mga angkla. Gihubad usab nila ang mga pisi nga gihigot sa timon. Ug giisa nila ang layag sa dulong aron paliron sila padulong sa baybayon. 41 Apan samtang naglawig sila, misagyad ang barko sa mabaw ug miungot ang iyang dulong. Ang likod naanam ug kabungkag tungod sa kakusog sa hapak sa mga balod.
42 Pamatyon unta sa mga sundalo ang tanang mga priso aron walay makalangoy padulong sa daplin ug makaikyas. 43 Apan gipugngan sila sa ilang kapitan tungod kay gusto niya nga luwason si Pablo. Mimando siya nga molukso una ang tanang makahibalo molangoy, ug magpadaplin. 44 Ang dili kahibalo molangoy, mosunod nga magkapyot lang sa mga tabla ug mga bahin sa barko nga nanglutaw. Mao kadto ang among gihimo, ug tanan kami nakaabot sa baybayon nga wala maunsa.

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.
