* 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 .
