Acts 27:1-28

Worrell(i) 1 And, when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion, Julius by name, of the Augustan band. 2 And, embarking upon a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to Sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul humanely, gave him permission to go to his friends to receive their attention. 4 And, thence putting out to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And, sailing over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 And there the centurion, finding an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, put us on board of it. 7 And, sailing slowly many days, and with difficulty having come over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to approach, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; 8 and, coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near which was a city—Lasea. 9 And much time having been spent, and sailing being already dangerous, because also the fast had already gone by, Paul was admonishing them, 10 saying, "Men! I perceive that the voyage is likely to be with violence and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. 11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the owner of the ship, more than the things spoken by Paul. 12 And, because the harbor was incommodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail thence, if by any means, having reached Phoenix, a harbor of Crete—looking toward the south-west and north-west —we might be able to winter there. 13 And, when the south wind was blowing gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, lifting anchor, they were coasting nearer to Crete. 14 But, not long after, there beat down upon it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon. 15 And, the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, yielding to it, we were borne along. 16 And, running under a certain small island, called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to secure the boat; 17 which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, lowering the sail, so they were borne along. 18 And, we being violently tempest-tossed, the next day they were making an overthrow of the cargo; 19 and, on the third day, with their own hands, they cast out the rigging of the ship. 20 And, when neither sun nor stars appeared to us for many days, and no small tempest was pressing upon us, henceforth all hope that we should be saved was being utterly taken away. 21 And, after long abstinence from food, then Paul, standing up in the midst of them, said, "Ye ought, indeed, O men, hearkening to me, not to have set sail from Crete, and to have incurred this violence and loss. 22 And, as to the present things, I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of soul among you, but only of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God Whose I am, and Whom I serve, 24 saying, 'Fear not, Paul; it is necessary that you should stand before Caesar, and, behold, God has granted to you as a favor all those sailing with you.' 25 Wherefore, men, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be even so as it has been told me. 26 But we must be cast out on a certain island." 27 And, when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven along the Adria, about midnight the sailors were surmising that some country was approaching them; 28 and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
