Acts 27:1-28 And Festus commanded, respecting him, that he should be sent to Italy, unto Caesar. And he delivered Paul, and other prisoners with him, to a certain man, a centurion of the Augustan cohort, whose name was Julius.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Festus commanded, respecting him, that he should be sent to Italy, unto Caesar. And he delivered Paul, and other prisoners with him, to a certain man, a centurion of the Augustan cohort, whose name was Julius. ² And when we were to depart, we embarked in a ship which was from the city of Adramyttium, and was going to the country of Asia. And there embarked with us in the ship, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of the city of Thessalonica. ³ And the next day, we arrived at Zidon. And the centurion treated Paul with kindness, and permitted him to visit his friends and be refreshed. ⁴ And on sailing from there, because the winds were against us, we sailed around to Cyprus. ⁵ And we passed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and arrived at Myra, a city of Lycia. ⁶ And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria, which was going to Italy; and he set us on board of it. ⁷ And as it was hard navigating, we had scarcely arrived, after many days, over against the isle of Cnidos. And, because the wind would not allow us to pursue a straight course, we sailed around by Crete, and came opposite the city of Salmone. ⁸ And with difficulty, after sailing about it, we arrived at a place called the Fair Havens, near to which was the city called Lassa. ⁹ And we were there a long time, and till after the day of the Jewish fast. And it was hazardous then for any one to go by sea; and Paul counselled them, ¹⁰ and said: Men, I perceive that our voyage will be attended with peril, and with much loss, not only of the cargo of our ship, but also of our lives. ¹¹ But the centurion listened to the pilot, and to the owner of the ship, more than to the words of Paul. ¹² And, because that harbor was not commodious for wintering in, many of us were desirous to sail from it, and if possible, to reach and to winter in a certain harbor of Crete, which was called Phenice, and which opened towards the south. ¹³ And when the south wind breezed up, and they hoped to arrive as they desired, we began to sail around Crete. ¹⁴ And shortly after, a tempest of wind arose upon us, called Typhonic Euroclydon. ¹⁵ And the ship was whirled about by the wind, and could not keep head to it; and we resigned the ship to its power. ¹⁶ And when we had passed a certain island, called Cyra, we could hardly retain the boat. ¹⁷ And after hoisting it on board, we girded the ship around the waist, and made it strong. And, because we were afraid of falling upon a precipice of the sea, we pulled own the sail; and so we drifted. ¹⁸ And as the storm raged violently upon us, we the next day threw goods into the sea. ¹⁹ And on the third day, with our own hands, we threw away the tackling of the ship. ²⁰ And as the storm held on for many days, and as no sun was visible, nor moon, nor stars, all hope of our surviving was wholly cut off. ²¹ And as no one had taken a meal of food, Paul now stood up in the midst of them, and said: If ye had given heed to me, O men, we should not have sailed from Crete, and we should have been exempt from this loss and peril. ²² And now, I counsel you to be without anxiety; for not a soul of you will be lost, but only the ship. ²³ For there appeared to me this night, the angel of that God whose I am, and whom I serve; ²⁴ and he said to me: Fear not, Paul; for thou art yet to stand before Caesar; and, lo, God hath made a gift to thee of all them that sail with thee. ²⁵ Therefore, men, be ye courageous; for I confide in God, that it will be as was told to me. ²⁶ Yet we are to be cast upon a certain island. ²⁷ And after the fourteen days of our roaming and tossing on the Adriatic sea, at midnight, the sailors conceived that they approached land. ²⁸ And they cast the lead, and found twenty fathoms. And again they advanced a little, and they found fifteen fathoms.
