Book of Common Prayer

⁹ And a considerable time having passed, and the voyage being already dangerous^[a] because even the Fast^[b] had passed-by already, Paul was advising, ¹⁰ saying to them, “Men, I perceive^[c] that the voyage will-certainly be with damage^[d] and great loss— not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives”. ¹¹ But the centurion was being persuaded more by the helmsman and the captain than by the things being said by Paul. ¹² And the harbor being unsuitable for wintering, the majority made a plan^[e] to put-to-sea from there— if somehow they might be able to spend-the-winter having attained to Phoenix^[f], a harbor of Crete looking toward the southwest and toward the northwest.

A Severe Storm Catches The Ship

¹³ Now a south-wind ^[g] having blown-moderately— having supposed that they had taken-hold-of their purpose, having lifted anchor, they were sailing-along very-near Crete. ¹⁴ But after not much time a violent^[h] wind rushed down from it^[i], the one being called the “Northeaster^[j]”. ¹⁵ And the ship having been seized and not being able to face-into the wind, we were being carried-along, having given ourselves up to it. ¹⁶ And having run-under-the-shelter-of a certain small-island being called Cauda^[k], we were able with-difficulty to come-to-be in-control of the [ship’s] boat^[l]— ¹⁷ having lifted which, they were using supports^[m], undergirding the ship. And fearing that they might run-aground at Syrtis^[n], having lowered^[o] the gear, in this manner they were being carried-along. ¹⁸ And we being violently storm-tossed, on the next day they were doing a jettison. ¹⁹ And on the third day they threw-off the equipment of the ship with-their-own-hands. ²⁰ And neither sun nor stars appearing^[p] for many days, and no small storm lying-upon^[q] us, finally all hope that we might be saved was being taken-away^[r]. ²¹ And much^[s] abstinence-from-food^[t] being present, at that time Paul, having stood in their midst, said, “O men, having obeyed me, you indeed should-have not put-to-sea from Crete and gained^[u] this damage and loss. ²² And as to the things now, I advise that you cheer-up. For there will be no loss of life from-among you, only of the ship. ²³ For an angel stood-before me on this night from the God Whose I am, Whom also I serve, ²⁴ saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand-before Caesar. And behold— God has granted you all the ones sailing with you’. ²⁵ Therefore, cheer up, men. For I believe God that it shall happen in this manner— in accordance with the way it has been spoken to me. ²⁶ But we must run-aground on a certain island”.

The Priests Plot To Seize And Kill Jesus

14 Now the Passover [Feast] and the Feast of Unleavened-Bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, having seized Him by deceit^[a], they might kill Him. ² For they were saying, “Not during the Feast, so that there will not perhaps be an uproar of the people”.

Jesus Is Anointed With Oil In Preparation For His Burial

³ And He being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, while He is reclining [to eat], a woman came having an alabaster-jar of very-precious genuine^[b] nard^[c] perfume^[d]. Having broken the alabaster-jar, she poured it down over His head. ⁴ But some were being indignant to themselves— “For what purpose has this waste of perfume taken place? ⁵ For this perfume could have been sold for over three-hundred^[e] denarii and given to the poor”. And they were sternly-scolding her. ⁶ But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you causing troubles for her? She worked a good work^[f] in^[g] Me. ⁷ For you always have the poor with you. And whenever you want, you are able to do good for them. But you do not always have Me. ⁸ She did what she had^[h]. She anticipated to perfume My body for its preparation-for-burial. ⁹ And truly I say to you, wherever the good-news is proclaimed in the whole world, what this one did will also be spoken for a memorial of her”.

Judas Betrays Jesus To The Priests

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, the one from the twelve, went to the chief priests in order that he might hand Him over to them. ¹¹ And the ones, having heard, rejoiced and promised to give him money. And he was seeking how he might conveniently^[i] hand Him over.
