* And when it was determined (5681 ) that we should sail (5721 ) into Italy , they delivered (5707 ) Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius , a centurion of Augustus band . * And entering (5631 ) into a ship of Adramyttium , we launched (5681 ), meaning (5723 ) to sail (5721 ) by the coasts of Asia ; one Aristarchus , a Macedonian of Thessalonica , being (5752 ) with us . * And the next day we touched (5648 ) at Sidon . And Julius courteously entreated (5666 ) Paul , and gave him liberty (5656 ) to go (5679 ) unto his friends to refresh himself (5629 ). * And when we had launched (5685 ) from thence , we sailed under (5656 ) Cyprus , because the winds were (5750 ) contrary . * And when we had sailed over (5660 ) the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia , we came (5627 ) to Myra , a city of Lycia . * And there the centurion found (5631 ) a ship of Alexandria sailing (5723 ) into Italy ; and he put (5656 ) us therein . * And when we had sailed slowly (5723 ) many days , and scarce were come (5637 ) over against Cnidus , the wind not suffering (5723 ) us , we sailed under (5656 ) Crete , over against Salmone ; * And , hardly passing (5740 ) it , came (5627 ) unto a place which is called (5746 ) The fair havens ; nigh whereunto was (5713 ) the city of Lasea . * Now when much time was spent (5637 ), and when sailing was (5752 ) now dangerous , because the fast was now already past (5755 ), Paul admonished (5707 ) them , * And said (5723 ) unto them , Sirs , I perceive (5719 ) that this voyage will be (5721 ) (5705 ) with hurt and much damage , not only of the lading and ship , but also of our lives . * Nevertheless the centurion believed (5712 ) the master and the owner of the ship , more than those things which were spoken (5746 ) by Paul . * And because the haven was (5723 ) not commodious to winter in , the more part advised (5639 ) to depart (5683 ) thence also , if by any means they might (5739 ) attain (5660 ) to Phenice , and there to winter (5658 ); which is an haven of Crete , and lieth (5723 ) toward the south west and north west . * And when the south wind blew softly (5660 ), supposing (5660 ) that they had obtained (5760 ) their purpose , loosing (5660 ) thence , they sailed (5711 ) close by Crete . * 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 . * And when it was (5633 ) day , they knew (5707 ) not the land : but they discovered (5707 ) a certain creek with (5723 ) a shore , into the which they were minded (5662 ), if it were possible (5739 ), to thrust in (5658 ) the ship . * And when they had taken up (5631 ) the anchors , they committed (5707 ) themselves unto the sea , and loosed (5631 ) the rudder bands , and hoised up (5660 ) the mainsail to the wind (5723 ), and made (5707 ) toward shore . * And falling (5631 ) into a place where two seas met , they ran the ship aground (5656 ); and the forepart stuck fast (5660 ), and remained (5656 ) unmoveable , but the hinder part was broken (5712 ) with the violence of the waves . * And the soldiers counsel was (5633 ) to kill (5725 ) the prisoners , lest any of them should swim out (5660 ), and escape (5630 ). * But the centurion , willing (5740 ) to save (5658 ) Paul , kept (5656 ) them from their purpose ; and commanded (5656 ) that they which could (5740 ) swim (5721 ) should cast (5660 ) themselves first into the sea , and get (5750 ) to land : * And the rest , some on boards , and some on broken pieces of the ship . And so it came to pass (5633 ), that they escaped all safe (5683 ) to land .
