*
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 :
