@ I
think
myself
happy

this

Pharisee

incredible

God
should
raise
the

strkjv@Acts:26:9

verily
thought
with

do
many
things
contrary

Nazareth

thing
I
also
did

shut
up

prison

received
authority
from
the chief
priests

when

were put to
death

gave
my
voice
against them.
strkjv@Acts:26:11

And
I
punished
them
oft
in

blaspheme

persecuted
them

authority

strkjv@Acts:26:13
@ At
midday

minister

strkjv@Acts:26:19

was
not

heavenly
vision

shewed
first
unto them

Damascus

turn
to
God

do
works
meet

repentance

strkjv@Acts:26:21
@
For
these
causes
the
Jews
caught
me
in
the
temple

about
to
kill
me.
strkjv@Acts:26:22
@
Having
therefore
obtained
help
of
God

continue
unto
this
day

witnessing
both
to
small

great
,
saying
none other
things
than
those
which
the
prophets

Moses
did
say
should
come
:
strkjv@Acts:26:23
@
That
Christ
should
suffer
, and
that
he should be the
first

rise
from

should
shew
light
unto the
people
,
and
to the
Gentiles
.
strkjv@Acts:26:24
@
And
as
he
thus
spake for
himself

Festus
said
with a
loud
voice
,
Paul
, thou art beside
thyself
;
much
learning
doth
make
thee
mad

strkjv@Acts:26:25
@
But
he
said
, I
am
not

noble

speak
forth
the
words

truth

soberness

strkjv@Acts:26:26
@
For
the
king
knoweth
of
these
things,
before
whom
also
I
speak
freely
:
for
I am
persuaded
that
none
of these
things
are
hidden
from
him

for
this
thing
was
not
done
in
a
corner
.
strkjv@Acts:26:27
@
King
Agrippa
, believest
thou
the
prophets

know

thou
believest

Agrippa
said
unto
Paul
,
Almost
thou
persuadest
me
to
be
a
Christian

Paul
said
, I
would
to
God

not

thou

also
all
that
hear
me
this

were
both
almost
,

altogether
such

I
am

bonds

strkjv@Acts:26:30
@
And
when

thus

rose
up

they that sat
with
them
:
strkjv@Acts:26:31
@
And
when they were gone
aside

talked

themselves

saying
,
This
man
doeth
nothing
worthy
of
death

of
bonds

strkjv@Acts:26:32
@
Then
said
Agrippa
unto
Festus
,
This
man
might
have been set at
liberty

he
had
not
appealed
unto
Caesar

strkjv@Acts:27:1
@
And
when
it was
determined
that
we
should
sail
into
Italy

delivered
Paul
and
certain
other
prisoners
unto one
named
Julius
, a
centurion
of
Augustus
band
.
strkjv@Acts:27:2
@
And
entering
into a
ship
of
Adramyttium

launched
,
meaning
to
sail
by
the
coasts
of
Asia
; one
Aristarchus
, a
Macedonian
of
Thessalonica
,
being
with
us
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:27:4
@
And
when we had
launched
from
thence
, we sailed
under
Cyprus
,
because
the
winds
were
contrary
.
strkjv@Acts:27:5
@
And
when we had sailed
over
the
sea
of
Cilicia
and
Pamphylia
, we
came
to
Myra
, a city of
Lycia
.
strkjv@Acts:27:6
@ And
there
the
centurion
found
a
ship
of
Alexandria
sailing
into
Italy
; and he
put
us
therein
.
strkjv@Acts: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
;
strkjv@Acts:27:8
@
And
,
hardly
passing
it
,
came
unto
a
place
which is
called
The
fair
havens
;
nigh
whereunto
was
the
city
of
Lasea
.
strkjv@Acts:27:9
@
Now
when
much
time
was
spent
,
and
when
sailing
was
now
dangerous
,
because
the
fast
was
now
already
past
,
Paul
admonished
them,
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:27:11
@
Nevertheless
the
centurion
believed
the
master
and
the owner of the
ship
,
more
than
those things which were
spoken
by
Paul
.
strkjv@Acts: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
.
strkjv@Acts:27:13
@
And
when the south
wind
blew
softly
,
supposing
that they had
obtained
their
purpose
,
loosing
thence, they
sailed
close
by
Crete
.
strkjv@Acts:27:14
@
But
not
long
after
there
arose
against
it
a
tempestuous
wind
,
called
Euroclydon
.
strkjv@Acts:27:15
@
And
when the
ship
was
caught
,
and
could
not
bear up
into
the
wind
, we let her
drive
.
strkjv@Acts:27:16
@
And
running
under
a
certain
island
which is
called
Clauda
, we
had
much
work
to come
by
the
boat
:
strkjv@Acts:27:17
@
Which
when they had taken
up
, they
used
helps
,
undergirding
the
ship
;
and
,
fearing
lest
they should
fall
into
the
quicksands
,
strake
sail
, and
so
were
driven
.
strkjv@Acts:27:18
@
And
we
being
exceedingly
tossed with a
tempest
, the
next
day they lightened the
ship
;
strkjv@Acts:27:19
@
And
the
third
day we cast
out
with our own
hands
the
tackling
of the
ship
.
strkjv@Acts:27:20
@
And
when
neither
sun
nor
stars
in
many
days
appeared
,

no
small
tempest
lay
on
us,
all
hope
that
we
should be
saved
was
then
taken
away
.
strkjv@Acts:27:21
@
But
after
long
abstinence
Paul
stood
forth
in
the
midst
of
them
, and
said
,
Sirs
, ye
should
have
hearkened
unto
me

not
have
loosed
from
Crete
,

to have
gained
this
harm
and
loss

@
And
now
I
exhort
you
to be of good
cheer

for
there shall
be
no
loss
of any mans
life
among
you

of the
ship

night

angel

I
am

I
serve

not

given
thee
all
them that
sail

Wherefore

fourteenth
night

were driven up and
down

about
midnight
the
shipmen
deemed
that
they
drew
near
to
some
country

strkjv@Acts:27:28
@
And
sounded
, and
found
it
twenty
fathoms

gone
a little
further

sounded
again
,

found
it
fifteen
fathoms

Then
fearing
lest
we should have
fallen
upon
rocks

cast
four
anchors
out
of

stern
, and
wished
for the
day

strkjv@Acts:27:30

And
as the
shipmen
were
about
to
flee
out
of
the
ship

they had let
down
the
boat
into
the
sea

colour
as

they
would
have
cast
anchors
out

the
foreship

Paul
said
to the
centurion

soldiers

Except

abide
in

cannot
be
saved

strkjv@Acts:27:32

Then
the
soldiers
cut
off
the
ropes
of the
boat

let
her
fall
off

And
while
the
day
was
coming
on

Paul
besought

all
to
take
meat

day

fourteenth
day

tarried

continued
fasting

taken
nothing

thus
spoken

he
took
bread

thanks

God

all

broken
it, he
began
to
eat

hundred
threescore

sixteen
souls

eaten
enough

out

wheat

sea

creek

shore

into

which
they were
minded

if
it were
possible

in
the
ship

up

anchors

committed
themselves
unto
the
sea

loosed

rudder
bands

hoised
up
the
mainsail
to the
wind

made
toward
shore

falling
into

place

met

ran
the

aground

forepart
stuck
fast

remained
unmoveable

part
was
broken

violence

waves

some
