drb @Acts:27:1 @And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy , and that Paul , with the other prisoners , should be delivered to a centurion , named Julius , of the band Augusta , drb @Acts:27:2 @Going on board a ship of Adrumetum , we launched , meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia , Aristarchus , the Macedonian of Thessalonica , continuing with us . drb @Acts:27:3 @And the day following we came to Sidon . And Julius treating Paul courteously , permitted him to go to his friends , and to take care of himself . drb @Acts:27:4 @And when we had launched from thence , we sailed under Cyprus , because the winds were contrary . drb @Acts:27:5 @And sailing over the sea of Cilicia , and Pamphylia , we came to Lystra , which is in Lycia : drb @Acts:27:6 @And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy , removed us into it . drb @Acts:27:7 @And when for many days we had sailed slowly , and were scarce come over against Gnidus , the wind not suffering us , we sailed near Crete by Salmone : drb @Acts:27:8 @And with much ado sailing by it , we came into a certain place , which is called Good-havens , nigh to which was the city of Thalassa . drb @Acts:27:9 @And when much time was spent , and when sailing now was dangerous , because the fast was now past , Paul comforted them , drb @Acts:27:10 @Saying to them : Ye men , I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage , not only of the lading and ship , but also of our lives . drb @Acts:27:11 @But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship , more than those things which were said by Paul . drb @Acts:27:12 @And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in , the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence , if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there , which is a haven of Crete , looking towards the southwest and northwest . drb @Acts:27:13 @And the south wind gently blowing , thinking that they had obtained their purpose , when they had loosed from Asson , they sailed close by Crete drb @Acts:27:14 @But not long after , there arose against it a tempestuous wind , called Euroaquilo . drb @Acts:27:15 @And when the ship was caught , and could not bear up against the wind , giving up the ship to the winds , we were driven . drb @Acts:27:16 @And running under a certain island , that is called Cauda , we had much work to come by the boat . drb @Acts:27:17 @Which being taken up , they used helps , undergirding the ship , and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands , they let down the sail yard , and so were driven . drb @Acts:27:18 @And we being mightily tossed with the tempest , the next day they lightened the ship . drb @Acts:27:19 @And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship . drb @Acts:27:20 @And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days , and no small storm lay on us , all hope of our being saved was now taken away . drb @Acts:27:21 @And after they had fasted a long time , Paul standing forth in the midst of them , said : You should indeed , O ye men , have hearkened unto me , and not have loosed from Crete , and have gained this harm and loss . drb @Acts:27:22 @And now I exhort you to be of good cheer . For there shall be no loss of any man 's life among you , but only of the ship . drb @Acts:27:23 @For an angel of God , whose I am , and whom I serve , stood by me this night , drb @Acts:27:24 @Saying : Fear not , Paul , thou must be brought before Caesar ; and behold , God hath given thee all them that sail with thee . drb @Acts:27:25 @Wherefore , sirs , be of good cheer ; for I believe God that it shall so be , as it hath been told me . drb @Acts:27:26 @And we must come unto a certain island . drb @Acts:27:27 @But after the fourteenth night was come , as we were sailing in Adria , about midnight , the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country . drb @Acts:27:28 @Who also sounding , found twenty fathoms ; and going on a little further , they found fifteen fathoms . drb @Acts:27:29 @Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places , they cast four anchors out of the stern , and wished for the day . drb @Acts:27:30 @But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship , having let down the boat into the sea , under colour , as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship , drb @Acts:27:31 @Paul said to the centurion , and to the soldiers : Except these stay in the ship , you cannot be saved . drb @Acts:27:32 @Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat , and let her fall off . drb @Acts:27:33 @And when it began to be light , Paul besought them all to take meat , saying : This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited , and continued fasting , taking nothing . drb @Acts:27:34 @Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health 's sake ; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish . drb @Acts:27:35 @And when he had said these things , taking bread , he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all ; and when he had broken it , he began to eat . drb @Acts:27:36 @Then were they all of better cheer , and they also took some meat . drb @Acts:27:37 @And we were in all in the ship , two hundred threescore and sixteen souls . drb @Acts:27:38 @And when they had eaten enough , they lightened the ship , casting the wheat into the sea . drb @Acts:27:39 @And when it was day , they knew not the land ; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore , into which they minded , if they could , to thrust in the ship . drb @Acts:27:40 @And when they had taken up the anchors , they committed themselves to the sea , loosing withal the rudder bands ; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind , they made towards shore . drb @Acts:27:41 @And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met , they run the ship aground ; and the forepart indeed , sticking fast , remained unmoveable : but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea . drb @Acts:27:42 @And the soldiers ' counsel was , that they should kill the prisoners , lest any of them , swimming out , should escape . drb @Acts:27:43 @But the centurion , willing to save Paul , forbade it to be done ; and he commanded that they who could swim , should cast themselves first into the sea , and save themselves , and get to land . drb @Acts:27:44 @And the rest , some they carried on boards , and some on those things that belonged to the ship . And so it came to pass , that every soul got safe to land .
