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.
And having gotten on a ship of Adramyttium that was going to sail to the places along Asia, we launched, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

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.
And sailing slowly during considerable days, and with difficulty having come along the Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under lee of Crete, along Salmone.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged,
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.”
saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to be with injury and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
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.
But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul.
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.
And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
And when a south wind blew gently, having presumed to have obtained their purpose, after taking up anchor, they sailed very near by Crete.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
And the ship having been caught, and not being able to face the wind, having given up, we were driven.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
And having sailed under lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were able with difficulty, to develop control of the skiff.
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.
And having taken that up, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they might fall off into the sandbank, having lowered the vessel, they were driven this way.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
And since we were exceedingly storm-tossed, on the next day they jettisoned.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
And the third day we cast out by hands the tackling of the ship.
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.

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.
And being long without food, then Paul, who stood in the midst of them, said, Ye truly ought, O men, to have complied with me, not to launch from Crete, and gain this damage and loss.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.

28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
And having tossed lead, they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and having tossed lead again, they found fifteen fathoms.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
And fearing lest somehow we might falloff on rough places, having cast off four anchors from the stern, they prayed for day to develop.
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,
And since the sailors sought to flee out of the ship, and having lowered the skiff into the sea in pretense as going to stretch out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff, and let it fall off.
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.
And until day was going to develop, Paul urged them all to partake of food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day, waiting, ye continue without food, having taken nothing.
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.”
Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.
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.
And having said these things, and having taken bread, he expressed thanks to God in the presence of all. And having broke in pieces, he began to eat.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
And they all, having become encouraged, also took food.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
And all the souls in the ship were two hundred seventy-six.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
And after being filled of food, they unloaded the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
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.
And when it became day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which, they decided if possible, to drive the ship.
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.
And having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time unfastening the bands of the rudders. And having hoisted up the foresail to the wind, they held firm for the shore.
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.
And having chanced upon a place where two seas meet, they ran the ship aground. And of course, the bow having become stuck, it remained immovable, but the stern was coming apart by the force of the waves.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
And a decision of the soldiers developed that they should kill the prisoners, lest any man, having swam away, might escape.
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;
But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prevented them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, having first jumped out, to go to the land,
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.
and the remaining, some on boards, and some on any of the things from the ship. And so it came to pass for all to be saved to the land.
