Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
And when it was determined that we should sail away into Italy, they committed both Paul and certain other prisoners to the centurion, Julius by name, of the band of Augustus.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
And having embarked on an Adramyttium ship, about to sail to those places along Asia, we set sail; Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously pleaded Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
And on the following day we disembarked at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, permitted him having gone to his friends to receive their benefactions.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And having embarked from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary:
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
and having sailed through the sea which is opposite Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down into Myra of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
And there the centurion having found an Alexandrian ship sailing into Italy; transferred us into it.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come opposite to Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, opposite to Salmone;
And sailing slowly during many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not favoring us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh unto which was the city of Lasea.
and, with difficulty passing by it, we came into a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
And much time passing away, and navigation being already unsafe, because the Fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
saying to them, Men, I perceive that this voyage is going to be with peril and much loss, not only with the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
But the centurion trusted the pilot and midshipman, rather than the things spoken by Paul.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.
And the harbor being unsafe for spending the winter, most of them projected to the council to depart thence, if perchance they might be able, having arrived into Phoenix, to spend the winter there; a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southeast and the northeast.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
And the south wind blowing, thinking they could achieve their purpose, lifting up a sail, they went coasting along near Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
Not long afterward a typhonic wind, called Euraquilo, set in against her;
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
and the ship having been seized, and being unable to resist the wind, having given away to it, we were borne along.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get possession of the boat:
17 Which when they had taken up, they used support cables, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksand, strake sail, and so were driven.
which lifting up they used helps, under-girding the ship; and fearing lest they might fall into Syrtis, lowering the gear, they were thus carried along.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
And we being tossed violently by the storm, they were successively making the casting out,
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the cordage of the ship.
and on the third day with their own hands they threw overboard the tackling of the ship;
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
and neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and there being no small tempest on us, finally all hope of saving us was taken away.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, all of you should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
And there being much fasting, Paul standing in their midst, said, O men, truly it behooved you obeying me, not to depart from Crete, and incur this injury and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
And now I exhort you to take courage: for there will be no loss of the life of you, except the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
For the angel of God, whose I am, and whom indeed I serve, stood by me this night,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given you all them that sail with you.
saying, Fear not, Paul; for it behooveth thee to stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has given thee all those sailing along with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Therefore cheer up, O men: for I believe God, that it shall be according to the manner which He has spoken to me.
26 Nevertheless we must be cast upon a certain island.
But it behooves us to fall upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the sailors deemed that they drew near to some country;
And when it was the fourteenth night, we being borne along in the Adriatic Sea, about the middle of the night the sailors surmised that some country was coming to them.
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
And having sounded, they found it twenty fathoms; and moving on a short distance, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms;
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
and fearing lest they may fall out against rough places, casting four anchors from the stern, they were praying that the day should come.
30 And as the sailors were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,
And the sailors seeking to escape from the ship, and lowering the boat into the sea, with a pretext as about to cast anchors from the prow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, all of you cannot be saved.
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these may remain in the ship, you are not able to be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes away from the boat, and let it fall out.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that all of you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
But until the day was about to come, Paul exhorted all to take food, saying, Already this day you remain in a state of solicitude, the fourteenth day, receiving nothing.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Therefore I exhort you to take food: for this is for your safety: for not a hair of your head shall perish.
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
And having spoken these words, and taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and breaking it, began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some food.
And all becoming cheerful, themselves also took food.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
And we were two hundred and seventy-six souls in the ship.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
And having been revived by the food, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat over into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
And when it was day, they did not recognize the land: but discovered a certain gulf having a shore, into which they determined, if possible, to thrust out the ship.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
And having knocked off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders, and raising up the main sail to the blowing wind, they made for the shore.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the front part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
And having fallen into a place where two seas met, they broke the ship, and indeed the prow, sticking fast, remained motionless, but the stern was torn off by the violence (of the wind).
42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest some one, having outswum them, might escape:
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, forbade them from their counsel; and commanded that those who were able to swim, having first thrown themselves overboard, to go to the land;
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
and the rest, some on planks, and others on some parts from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
