* But not long after there arose (5627 ) against it a tempestuous wind , called (5746 ) Euroclydon . * And when the ship was caught (5685 ), and could (5740 ) not bear up into (5721 ) the wind , we let her drive (5631 ) (5712 ). * And running under (5631 ) a certain island which is called (5746 ) Clauda , we had much work (5656 ) to come by (5635 ) the boat : * Which when they had taken up (5660 ), they used (5711 ) helps , undergirding (5723 ) the ship ; and , fearing (5740 ) lest they should fall (5632 ) into the quicksands , strake (5660 ) sail , and so were driven (5712 ). * And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest (5746 ), the next day they lightened the ship (5710 ); * And the third day we cast out (5656 ) with our own hands the tackling of the ship . * And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared (5723 ), and no small tempest lay on (5740 ) us , all hope that we should be saved (5745 ) was then taken away (5712 ). * But after (5723 ) long abstinence Paul stood forth (5685 ) in the midst of them , and said (5627 ), Sirs , ye should (5713 ) have hearkened (5660 ) unto me , and not have loosed (5745 ) from Crete , and to have gained (5658 ) this harm and loss . * And now I exhort (5719 ) you to be of good cheer (5721 ): for there shall be (5704 ) no loss of any mans life among you , but of the ship . * For there stood by (5627 ) me this night the angel of God , whose I am (5748 ), and whom I serve (5719 ), * Saying (5723 ), Fear (5737 ) not , Paul ; thou must (5748 ) be brought before (5629 ) Caesar : and , lo (5628 ), God hath given (5766 ) thee all them that sail (5723 ) with thee . * Wherefore , sirs , be of good cheer (5720 ): for I believe (5719 ) God , that it shall be (5704 ) even as it was told (5769 ) me . * Howbeit we must (5748 ) be cast (5629 ) upon a certain island . * But when the fourteenth night was come (5633 ), as we were driven up and down (5746 ) in Adria , about midnight the shipmen deemed (5707 ) that they drew near (5721 ) to some country ; * And sounded (5660 ), and found (5627 ) it twenty fathoms : and when they had gone (5660 ) a little further , they sounded (5660 ) again , and found (5627 ) it fifteen fathoms . * Then fearing (5740 ) lest we should have fallen (5632 ) (5625 ) (5632 ) upon rocks , they cast (5660 ) four anchors out of the stern , and wished (5711 ) (5635 ) for the day . * And as the shipmen were about (5723 ) to flee (5629 ) out of the ship , when they had let down (5660 ) the boat into the sea , under colour as though they would (5723 ) have cast (5721 ) anchors out of the foreship , * Paul said (5627 ) to the centurion and to the soldiers , Except these abide (5661 ) in the ship , ye cannot (5736 ) be saved (5683 ). * Then the soldiers cut off (5656 ) the ropes of the boat , and let (5656 ) her fall off (5629 ). * And while the day was coming (5738 ) on (5707 ), Paul besought (5707 ) them all to take (5629 ) meat , saying (5723 ), This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried (5723 ) and continued (5719 ) fasting , having taken (5642 ) nothing . * Wherefore I pray (5719 ) you to take (5629 ) some meat : for this is (5719 ) for your health : for there shall not an hair fall (5695 ) from the head of any of you . * And when he had thus spoken (5631 ), he took (5631 ) bread , and gave thanks (5656 ) to God in presence of them all : and when he had broken (5660 ) it , he began (5662 ) to eat (5721 ). * Then were they (5637 ) all of good cheer , and they also took (5639 ) some meat . * And we were (5713 ) in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls . * And when they had eaten enough (5685 ), they lightened (5707 ) the ship , and cast out (5734 ) the wheat into the sea .
