  • AC-27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into

  • Italy, they



  • delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto [one] named

  • Julius, a centurion



  • of Augustus' band.



  • AC-27:2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched,

  • meaning to sail



  • by the coasts of Asia; [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of

  • Thessalonica, being



  • with us.



  • AC-27:3 And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius

  • courteously



  • entreated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go unto his friends to

  • refresh



  • himself.



  • AC-27:4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under

  • Cyprus, because



  • the winds were contrary.



  • AC-27:5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and

  • Pamphylia, we came



  • to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.



  • AC-27:6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria

  • sailing into Italy;



  • and he put us therein.



  • AC-27:7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce

  • were come over



  • against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete,

  • over against



  • Salmone;



  • AC-27:8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is

  • called The fair



  • havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea.



  • AC-27:9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now

  • dangerous,



  • because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them],



  • AC-27:10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage

  • will be with



  • hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also

  • of our lives.



  • AC-27:11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the

  • owner of the



  • ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.



  • AC-27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in,

  • the more part



  • advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain

  • to Phenice,



  • [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth

  • toward the south



  • west and north west.



  • AC-27:13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that

  • they had obtained



  • [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete.



  • AC-27:14 But not long after there arose against it a

  • tempestuous wind, called



  • Euroclydon.



  • AC-27:15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up

  • into the wind, we



  • let [her] drive.



  • AC-27:16 And running under a certain island which is called

  • Clauda, we had



  • much work to come by the boat:



  • AC-27:17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps,

  • undergirding the ship;



  • and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck

  • sail, and so



  • were driven.



  • AC-27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the

  • next [day] they



  • lightened the ship;



  • AC-27:19 And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the

  • tackling of



  • the ship.



  • AC-27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared,

  • and no small



  • tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then

  • taken away.



  • AC-27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the

  • midst of them, and



  • said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have

  • loosed from Crete,



  • and to have gained this harm and loss.



  • AC-27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there

  • shall be no loss



  • of [any man's] life among you, but of the ship.



  • AC-27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God,

  • whose I am, and



  • whom I serve,



  • AC-27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before

  • Caesar: and, lo,



  • God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.



  • AC-27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God,

  • that it shall



  • be even as it was told me.



  • AC-27:26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.



  • AC-27:27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were

  • driven up and down



  • in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near

  • to some



  • country;



  • AC-27:28 And sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when

  • they had gone a



  • little further, they sounded again, and found [it] fifteen

  • fathoms.



  • AC-27:29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks,

  • they cast four



  • anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.



  • AC-27:30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship,

  • when they had



  • let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they

  • would have cast



  • anchors out of the foreship,



  • AC-27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except

  • these abide in



  • the ship, ye cannot be saved.



  • AC-27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and

  • let her fall



  • off.



  • AC-27:33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought [them]

  • all to take



  • meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have

  • tarried and continued



  • fasting, having taken nothing.



  • AC-27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take [some] meat: for this is

  • for your



  • health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of

  • you.



  • AC-27:35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave

  • thanks to God in



  • presence of them all: and when he had broken [it], he began to

  • eat.



  • AC-27:36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took

  • [some] meat.



  • AC-27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore

  • and sixteen



  • souls.



  • AC-27:38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the

  • ship, and cast out



  • the wheat into the sea.



  • AC-27:39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they

  • discovered a



  • certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if

  • it were



  • possible, to thrust in the ship.



  • AC-27:40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed

  • [themselves]



  • unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the

  • mainsail to the



  • wind, and made toward shore.



  • AC-27:41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran

  • the ship



  • aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable,

  • but the hinder



  • part was broken with the violence of the waves.



  • AC-27:42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners,

  • lest any of them



  • should swim out, and escape.



  • AC-27:43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them

  • from [their]



  • purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast

  • [themselves]



  • first [into the sea], and get to land:



  • AC-27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken

  • pieces] of the



  • ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
