Acts 27:1-28

ACV(i) 1 And when it was determined for us to sail for Italy, they delivered both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the band of Augustus. 2 And having gotten on a ship of Adramyttium that was going to sail to the places along Asia, we launched, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, who treated Paul kindly, allowed him to undergo care, after going to his friends. 4 And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And having sailed across the depths along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, of Lycia. 6 And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it. 7 And sailing slowly during considerable days, and with difficulty having come along the Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under lee of Crete, along Salmone. 8 And sailing by it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was Lasea City. 9 And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged, 10 saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to be with injury and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. 11 But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul. 12 And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest. 13 And when a south wind blew gently, having presumed to have obtained their purpose, after taking up anchor, they sailed very near by Crete. 14 But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon. 15 And the ship having been caught, and not being able to face the wind, having given up, we were driven. 16 And having sailed under lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were able with difficulty, to develop control of the skiff. 17 And having taken that up, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they might fall off into the sandbank, having lowered the vessel, they were driven this way. 18 And since we were exceedingly storm-tossed, on the next day they jettisoned. 19 And the third day we cast out by hands the tackling of the ship. 20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for more days, and no small storm laying on, all remaining hope for us to be saved was taken away. 21 And being long without food, then Paul, who stood in the midst of them, said, Ye truly ought, O men, to have complied with me, not to launch from Crete, and gain this damage and loss. 22 And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve, 24 saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee. 25 Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me. 26 But we must fall off upon a certain island. 27 And when it became the fourteenth night, as we were driven about in the Adriatic sea, toward midnight the sailors suspected some region to come near them. 28 And having tossed lead, they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and having tossed lead again, they found fifteen fathoms.
