lont - Acts:27:9-28:10

lont@Acts:27:9 @ And, as much time was spent, and sailing was now hazardous, because the fast was already over, Paul exhorted them,

lont@Acts:27:10 @ saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with injury and great damage, not only to the lading and to the ship, but also to our lives.

lont@Acts:27:11 @ But the centurion paid greater regard to the pilot, and the master of the vessel, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

lont@Acts:27:12 @ And as the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence, if they might possibly reach Phenice, to winter there;

lont@Acts:27:13 @ which is a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest: and as the south win blew gently, supposing they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor, and sailed on close to Crete.

lont@Acts:27:14 @ But not long after, there arose against her a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon.

lont@Acts:27:15 @ And as the ship was violently hurried away, and was not able to bear up against the wind, we gave her up, and were driven.

lont@Acts:27:16 @ An running under a certain island, called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of the boat:

lont@Acts:27:17 @ which, when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing, lest they should fall upon the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven.

lont@Acts:27:18 @ And we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:

lont@Acts:27:19 @ and the third day we cast out, with our own hands, the tackling of the ship.

lont@Acts:27:20 @ Now, as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest pressed upon us, all remainder of hope that we might be delivered, was taken away.

lont@Acts:27:21 @ And when there was great want of food, then Paul, standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, you ought to have hearkened to me, and not to have loosed from Crete, and incurred this injury and loss.

lont@Acts:27:22 @ Nevertheless, even now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you; but only of the ship.

lont@Acts:27:23 @ For there appeared to me this night, an angel of the God whose I am, and whom I worship,

lont@Acts:27:24 @ saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be presented before Cesar; and, behold, God has given you all them that sail with you.

lont@Acts:27:25 @ Wherefore, take courage, men; for I trust in God that it shall be so, even as it was told me.

lont@Acts:27:26 @ But we must be cast upon a certain island.

lont@Acts:27:27 @ And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were tossed up and down in the Adriatic sea, the mariners suspected, about midnight that they drew near to some land;

lont@Acts:27:28 @ and sounding, they found it twenty fathoms: and having gone a little way from thence, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms.

lont@Acts:27:29 @ And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky shore, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished that the day would break.

lont@Acts:27:30 @ But when the mariners endeavored to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretense that they were about to carry out anchors from the ship-head;

lont@Acts:27:31 @ Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these continue in the ship, you can not be saved.

lont@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let it fall off.

lont@Acts:27:33 @ And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, Today, whilst waiting for this fourteenth day, you continue fasting, having taken nothing.

lont@Acts:27:34 @ I exhort you, therefore, to take a refreshment; for this is conducive to your safety: for not a hair shall fall from the head of any of you.

lont@Acts:27:35 @ And when he had spoke thus, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God, before them all; and having broken it, he began to eat.

lont@Acts:27:36 @ And being all encouraged, they also took some food.

lont@Acts:27:37 @ And we were in the ship, in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.

lont@Acts:27:38 @ And being satisfied with food, they lightened the ship; and cast the corn into the sea.

lont@Acts:27:39 @ And when it was day, they did not know the land: but they perceived a certain creek, with a shore, into which they determined, if they were able, to force the ship.

lont@Acts:27:40 @ And having cut off the anchors, leaving them in the sea, they, at the same time, loosing the rudder bands, and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, pressed toward the shore.

lont@Acts:27:41 @ But falling on a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground, and the fore part stuck fast, and remained immovable, while the hinder part was broken by the force of the waves.

lont@Acts:27:42 @ And the counsel of the soldiers was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim away, and escape.

lont@Acts:27:43 @ But the centurion, being desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and commanded those that could swim, to throw themselves out first, into the sea, and get away to land:

lont@Acts:27:44 @ and the remainder, some upon planks, and others upon some of the things of the ship. And so it happened that they all got safe to land.

lont@Acts:28:1 @ And being got safe to land, they then knew that the island was called Melita.

lont@Acts:28:2 @ And the barbarians treated us with uncommon humanity; for having kindled a fire, they brought us all to it, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

lont@Acts:28:3 @ Now, as Paul was gathering up a bundle of sticks, and laying them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened upon his hand.

lont@Acts:28:4 @ And as soon as the barbarians saw the fierce animal hanging on his hand, they said one to another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom justice has not permitted to live, though he be saved from the sea.

lont@Acts:28:5 @ But he, shaking off the fierce animal into the fire, suffered no evil.

lont@Acts:28:6 @ However, they expected that he should have swollen, or suddenly have fallen down dead: and having waited a considerable time, and seeing no mischief befall him, changing their minds, they said he was a god.

lont@Acts:28:7 @ And in the neighborhood of that place, there was the estate of the chief of the island, whose name was Publius; who, having received us into his house, entertained us in a courteous manner for three days.

lont@Acts:28:8 @ And so it was, that the father of Publius, being seized with a fever and bloody flux, was confined to his bed: to whom Paul going in, and having prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him.

lont@Acts:28:9 @ Now, therefore, when this miracle was wrought, the rest also, who had disorders, in the island, came, and were healed.

lont@Acts:28:10 @ Who also honored us with great honors; and when we departed, put on board such things as were necessary.
