1 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band. Acts 27:1WEB
2 Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us. Acts 27:2WEB
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself. Acts 27:3WEB
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. Acts 27:4WEB
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. Acts 27:5WEB
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board. Acts 27:6WEB
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone. Acts 27:7WEB
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea. Acts 27:8WEB
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them Acts 27:9WEB
10 and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” Acts 27:10WEB
11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul. Acts 27:11WEB
12 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking southwest and northwest. Acts 27:12WEB
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore. Acts 27:13WEB
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon. Acts 27:14WEB
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along. Acts 27:15WEB
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat. Acts 27:16WEB
17 After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along. Acts 27:17WEB
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard. Acts 27:18WEB
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands. Acts 27:19WEB
20 When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away. Acts 27:20WEB
21 When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss. Acts 27:21WEB
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. Acts 27:22WEB
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve, Acts 27:23WEB
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ Acts 27:24WEB
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me. Acts 27:25WEB
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.” Acts 27:26WEB
27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land. Acts 27:27WEB
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms. Acts 27:28WEB
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight. Acts 27:29WEB
30 As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow, Acts 27:30WEB
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.” Acts 27:31WEB
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off. Acts 27:32WEB
33 While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing. Acts 27:33WEB
34 Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.” Acts 27:34WEB
35 When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat. Acts 27:35WEB
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food. Acts 27:36WEB
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship. Acts 27:37WEB
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea. Acts 27:38WEB
39 When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it. Acts 27:39WEB
40 Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. Acts 27:40WEB
41 But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves. Acts 27:41WEB
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape. Acts 27:42WEB
43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land; Acts 27:43WEB
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land. Acts 27:44WEB
