Acts:27:11-25

*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For there stood by me this night the angel of God ,
whose I am ,
and whom I serve ,
*
Saying ,
Fear not ,
Paul ;
thou must be brought before Caesar :
and ,
lo ,
God hath given thee all them that sail with thee .
*
Wherefore ,
sirs ,
be of good cheer :
for I believe God ,
that it shall be even as it was told me .
