DAY 29 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYS

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

land.

*AC-28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the

island

was called Melita.

AC-28:2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness:

for

they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the

present rain, and because of the cold.

AC-28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid

[them] on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and

fastened

on his hand.

AC-28:4 And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] beast hang on

his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a

murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance

suffereth not to live.

AC-28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no

harm.

AC-28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or

fallen

down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and

saw

no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he

was

a god.

AC-28:7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man

the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged

three days courteously.

AC-28:8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay

sick of

a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and

prayed,

and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

AC-28:9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases

the island, came, and were healed:

AC-28:10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we

departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.

AC-28:11 And after three months we departed in a ship of

Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor

and Pollux.

AC-28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.

AC-28:13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to

Rhegium:

and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day

Puteoli:

AC-28:14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with

them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
