* And much time having passed , and the voyage already being dangerous , because the Fast already had gone by , Paul warned them , * saying , Men , I see that the voyage is about to be with injury and much loss , not only of the cargo and of the ship , but also of our souls . * But the centurion was rather persuaded by the helmsman and the ship master , than by the things spoken by Paul . * And the port not being fit for wintering , the most gave counsel to set sail from there , if somehow they may be able to pass the winter , arriving at Phoenix , a port of Crete looking toward the southwest and toward the northwest . * And a south wind blowing gently , thinking to have gained the purpose , raising anchor they sailed along close by Crete . * And not much after , a stormy wind being called Euroclydon beat down on it . * And the ship being seized , and not being able to beat against the wind , giving way we were borne along . * But running under an islet being called Clauda , we were hardly able to get mastery of the boat ; * which taking , they used helps , undergirding the ship . And fearing lest they fall into Syrtis , lowering the tackle , so they were borne along . * But we having been exceedingly storm tossed , they made a casting on the next day . * And on the third day they threw out the ship 's tackle with their hands . * And neither sun nor stars appearing over many days , and no small tempest pressing hard , now all hope of our being saved was taken away . * And there being much fasting , then standing up in their midst , Paul said , Truly , O men , being obedient to me you ought not to have set sail from Crete , and to have come by this injury and loss . * And now I exhort you to be cheered , for there will be no casting away of soul from among you , only of the ship . * For tonight stood by me an angel of God , whose I am , and whom I serve , * saying , Do not fear , Paul , You must stand before Caesar . And , behold , God has granted to you all those sailing with you . * Therefore , be cheered , men , for I believe God , that it will be so according to the way it was spoken to me . * But we must fall on a certain island . * And when the fourteenth night came , we being carried about in the Adriatic Sea , toward the middle of the night the sailors supposed us to come near some country . * And sounding , they found twenty fathoms ; and moving a little and sounding again , they found fifteen fathoms .
