Acts:27:9-28:10

rotherham@Acts:27:9 @ And, when a considerable time had passed, and sailing was already dangerous, because, even the Fast, had already gone by, Paul began to advise,

rotherham@Acts:27:10 @ saying to them Sirs! I perceive that, with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship, but even of our persons, shall the voyage certainly be attended.

rotherham@Acts:27:11 @ But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.

rotherham@Acts:27:12 @ And, the harbour being, incommodious, to winter in, the more part, advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they might be able to reach Phoenix, to winter, a harbour of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.

rotherham@Acts:27:13 @ And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.

rotherham@Acts:27:14 @ But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo,

rotherham@Acts:27:15 @ and, the ship being caught and we not being able to bring her head to the wind, we let her go, and were borne along.

rotherham@Acts:27:16 @ And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat,

rotherham@Acts:27:17 @ which, hoisting up, they began to use, helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest, on the sand-bank of Africa, they should run aground, lowering the gear, so, were they borne along.

rotherham@Acts:27:18 @ But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw overboard;

rotherham@Acts:27:19 @ and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.

rotherham@Acts:27:20 @ And, neither, sun nor stars, appearing for many days, and, no small tempest, lying upon us, in the end, all hope that we should be saved, began to be taken from us.

rotherham@Acts:27:21 @ But, when they had been, long without food, then, Paul, standing in the midst of them, said Ye ought, indeed, Sir! yielding to me, not to have sailed away from Crete, to get this damage and loss.

rotherham@Acts:27:22 @ And, now, I recommend you to be of good courage; for, loss of life, shall there be, none at all, from among you, only the ship.

rotherham@Acts:27:23 @ For there stood by me this night, belonging unto the God whose I am, unto whom also I am doing divine service, a messenger,

rotherham@Acts:27:24 @ saying Be not afraid, Paul! for, before Caesar, must thou needs stand. And lo! God hath granted to thee as a favour, all them who are sailing with thee.

rotherham@Acts:27:25 @ Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in Godthat, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.

rotherham@Acts:27:26 @ Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.

rotherham@Acts:27:27 @ And, when, the fourteenth night, had come, and we were being driven to and fro in the Adriatic, about midnight, the sailors suspected that some country was, nearing, them;

rotherham@Acts:27:28 @ and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.

rotherham@Acts:27:29 @ And, fearing lest haply, on rocky places, we should be wrecked, out of stern, cast they four anchors, and began praying that day might dawn.

rotherham@Acts:27:30 @ But, when, the sailors, were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though out of the prow they had been about to reach anchors,

rotherham@Acts:27:31 @ Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!

rotherham@Acts:27:32 @ Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

rotherham@Acts:27:33 @ And, until day was about to dawn, Paul continued to beseech one and all to take some food, saying This day is, the fourteenth day, that, suspense, fasting, ye are completing, having helped yourselves, to nothing.

rotherham@Acts:27:34 @ Wherefore, I beseech you to take some food, for, this, lays a foundation for your safety; for, of no one of you, shall a hair of the head perish.

rotherham@Acts:27:35 @ And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.

rotherham@Acts:27:36 @ And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.

rotherham@Acts:27:37 @ Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.

rotherham@Acts:27:38 @ And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.

rotherham@Acts:27:39 @ And, when day came, they could not recognise, the land; but perceived, a certain bay, having a beach, upon which they were minded, if they could, safely to bring the ship.

rotherham@Acts:27:40 @ And, casting off the anchors, they let them go into the sea, at the same time, loosening the lashings of the rudders, and, hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

rotherham@Acts:27:41 @ But, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and, the foreship sticking fast, remained immoveable, while, the stern, began to break up, from the violence.

rotherham@Acts:27:42 @ Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;

rotherham@Acts:27:43 @ but, the centurion, being minded to bring Paul safely through, hindered them of their purpose, and ordered such as were able to swim, to cast themselves overboard and, get first to the land,

rotherham@Acts:27:44 @ and, the rest, some, on planks, and, some, on other things from the ship, and, so, it came to pass, that, all, were brought safely through, on to the land.

rotherham@Acts:28:1 @ And, when we were safely through, then, we knew that the island was called, Melita.

rotherham@Acts:28:2 @ And, the natives, began to shew us no common philanthropy; for, kindling a fire, they received us all, because of the rain that had set in, and because of the cold.

rotherham@Acts:28:3 @ But, when Paul had gathered a certain lot of firewood into a bundle, and laid it on the fire, a viper, by reason of the heat, coming forth, fastened on his hand.

rotherham@Acts:28:4 @ And, when the natives saw the brute hanging out from his hand, they began to say, one to another Doubtless, this man is, a murderer, whom, though brought safely through out of the sea, Justice, hath not suffered, to live.

rotherham@Acts:28:5 @ He, however, shaking of the brute into the fire, suffered no harm;

rotherham@Acts:28:6 @ whereas, they, were expecting, that he was about to become inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead; but, when they had been long expecting, and had observed, nothing unusual, happening unto him, they changed their minds, and began to say he was a god.

rotherham@Acts:28:7 @ Now, in the neighbourhood of that place, were lands, belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who, making us welcome, for three days, hospitably entertained us.

rotherham@Acts:28:8 @ And it so happened that, the father of Publius, with feverish heats and dysentery distressed, was lying prostrate: unto whom Paul entering in and praying, laid his hands on him, and healed him.

rotherham@Acts:28:9 @ And, when this happened, the rest also, even they in the island who were sick, were coming in and getting cured;

rotherham@Acts:28:10 @ who also, with many honours, honoured us, and, when we were about to sail, put on board such things as we might need.
