* Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship , more than those things which were spoken by Paul . * 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 . * And when the south wind blew softly , supposing that they had obtained their purpose , loosing thence , they sailed close by Crete . * But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind , called Euroclydon . * And when the ship was caught , and could not bear up into the wind , we let her drive . * And running under a certain island which is called Clauda , we had much work to come by the boat : * 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 . * And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest , the next day they lightened the ship ; * And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship . * 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 . * 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 .
