1 Now as it was decided for us to sail toward Italy, and they were giving to a centurion, Julius by name, from the Emperor’s cohort, Paul and some other prisoners.
2 Now having stepped on board, in a Adramyttium ship, which is about to sail throughout the places along Asia, we set-sail, also being together with us was Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica.
3 And the next-day we brought the ship into Sidon and Julius treated Paul humanely and permitted him to travel to his friends and be cared for.
4 And having set-sail to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were adverse.
5 And having sailed through the sea against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 And the centurion found a ship from Alexandria there sailing to Italy, and he had us step onto it.
7 Now at a considerable number of days, we were voyaging slowly and happened to be against Cnidus with difficulty; the wind was not permitting us to land. We sailed under the lee of Crete against Salmone;
8 and coasting-along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place being called Good Harbors; which was near the city of Lasea.
9 Now when a considerable amount of time had elapsed and the voyage was already dangerous, because the Fast had already passed, Paul was advising them, 10 saying to them, Men, I view that the voyage is about to be with disaster and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives. 11 But the centurion was being persuaded by the helmsman and by the ship-owner, rather than by the things being spoken by Paul. 12 But the harbor being unfit for a wintering, most of the counsel purposed to set-sail to sea from there, if somehow they might be able to winter, after having arrived in Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking down the northwest and down the southwest. 13 Now when wind from the south blew softly, having thought to have taken-hold of the ir purpose, they lifted the anchor up and were coasting-along, closer to Crete. 14 But not long after, a typhoon wind, being called Euroclydon, was cast against her; 15 and when the ship was seized and it was not able to face the wind, having given her to the wind, we were being carried along. 16 Now having ran under the lee of a certain isle called Clauda, we were strong-enough to become skippers of the boat with difficulty; 17 and they, having lifted it up, were using cables, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they might fall upon the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the tackling and so we were being carried along. 18 But being extremely storm-tossed, the next day they were making a jettison of the cargo; 19 and the third day they tossed out the tackling of the ship with their own hands. 20 But when neither sun nor stars appeared upon most days and not just a small storm was laying down upon us, all our hope to be saved was furthermore taken away.
21 Now they are without much food, then Paul, having been standing in the midst of them, said, O men, it was essential for you to have been obedient to me and to have not set-sail away from Crete and then to have gained this disaster and damage. 22 And hereafter, I am advising you to be cheerful; for there will be no termination of life from among you, however of the ship, yes. 23 For there stood beside me this night a messenger of the God, whose I am, to whom I also am giving-divine service to, 24 saying, Do not fear, Paul; it is essential for you to stand-before Caesar and behold, God has granted to you all those who are sailing with you. 25 Hence, be cheerful, men; for I believe God, that it will be so according to the manner it has been spoken to me. 26 But it is essential for us to fall onto a certain island.
27 Now as it became the fourteenth night, being carried to and fro in the Adriatic Sea, in the middle of the night, the sailors were perceiving some region to be coming up before them. 28 And having sounded, they found twenty fathoms, and after a little bit of an interval of time, having sounded again, they found fifteen fathoms.
