Paul Sails for Rome

27And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.G1161G5613G2919G2248G636G1519G2482G3860G5037G3972G2532G5100G2087G1202G3686G2457G1543G4575G4686 2And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.G1161G1910G4143G98G321G3195G4126G2596G5117G773G708G3110G2331G5607G4862G2254 3The next day we put in at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.G5037G2087G2609G1519G4605G5037G2457G5364G5530G3972G2010G4198G4314G5384G5177G1958 4And putting out to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.G2547G321G2547G5284G2954G1223G417G1511G1727 5And when we had sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.G5037G1277G3989G2596G2791G2532G3828G2718G1519G3460G3073 6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.G2546G1543G2147G4143G222G4126G1519G2482G1688G2248G1519G846 7We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.G1161G1020G1722G2425G2250G2532G3433G1096G2596G2834G417G3361G4330G2248G5284G2914G2596G4534 8Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.G5037G3433G3881G846G2064G1519G5100G5117G2564G2570G2568G3040G1451G3739G2258G4172G2996 9Since much time had passed, and the voyage was now dangerous because even the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,G1161G2425G5550G1230G2532G4144G5607G2235G2000G1223G3521G3928G2532G2235G3928G3972G3867 10saying, "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."G3004G846G435G2334G3754G4144G3195G1510G3326G5196G2532G4183G2209G3756G3440G5414G2532G4143G235G2532G2257G5590 11But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.G1161G1543G3982G2942G2532G3490G3123G2228G3004G5259G3972 12And because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.G1161G5225G3040G5225G428G4314G3915G4119G1012G5087G321G2547G1513G4458G1410G2658G1519G5405G3914G3040G2914G991G2596G3047G2532G2596G5566

The Storm at Sea

13Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.G1161G3558G5285G1380G2902G4286G142G3881G788G2914 14But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land.G1161G3756G4183G3326G906G2596G846G5189G417G2564G2148 15And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.G1161G4143G4884G2532G1410G3361G503G417G1929G5342 16Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the ship's boat.G1161G5295G5100G3519G2564G2802G2480G3433G2480G4031G1096G4627 17After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and thus they were driven along.G3739G142G5530G996G5269G4143G5037G5399G3361G1601G1519G4950G5465G4632G3779G5342 18Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day to jettison the cargo.G1161G2257G4971G5492G1836G1546G4160 19And on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.G2532G5154G4496G849G4631G4143 20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.G1161G3383G2246G3383G798G1909G4119G2250G2014G5037G3756G3641G5494G1945G3956G1680G2248G4982G4014G3063G4014 21Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.G1161G5225G4183G776G5119G3972G2476G1722G3319G846G2036G5599G435G1163G3303G3980G3427G3361G321G575G2914G5037G2770G5026G5196G2532G2209 22Yet now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.G2532G3569G3867G5209G2114G1063G2071G3762G580G5590G1537G5216G4133G4143 23For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,G1063G3936G3427G5026G3571G32G2316G3739G1510G2532G3739G3000 24and he said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'G3004G5399G3361G3972G4571G1163G3936G2541G2532G2400G2316G5483G4671G3956G4126G3326G4675 25So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.G1352G435G2114G1063G4100G2316G3754G3779G2071G2596G3739G5158G2980G3427 26But we must run aground on some island."G1161G2248G1163G1601G1519G5100G3520 27When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.G1161G5613G5065G3571G1096G2257G1308G1722G99G2596G3319G3571G3492G5282G846G4317G5100G5561 28So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.G2532G1001G2147G1501G3712G1161G1339G1024G1001G3825G2532G2147G1178G3712 29And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.G5037G5399G3381G4458G1601G1601G1519G5117G5138G4496G5064G45G1537G4403G2172G1096G2250 30And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship's boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,G1161G3492G2212G5343G1537G4143G2532G5465G4627G1519G2281G4392G5613G3195G1614G45G1537G4408 31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."G3972G2036G1543G2532G4757G3362G3778G3306G1722G4143G5210G3756G1410G4982 32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it go.G5119G4757G609G4979G4627G2532G1439G846G1601 33As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.G1161G891G3739G2250G1096G3195G3972G3870G537G3335G5160G3004G4594G5065G2250G4328G1300G777G4355G3367 34Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you."G1352G3870G5209G4355G5160G1063G5124G5225G4314G5212G4991G1063G4098G3762G2359G4098G1537G2776G3762G5216 35And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat.G1161G5023G2036G2532G2983G740G2168G2316G1799G3956G2532G2806G756G2068 36Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.G1161G1096G846G1096G3956G2115G4355G2532G4355G5160 37(We were in all 276 persons in the ship.)G1161G2258G3956G1722G4143G1250G1440G1803G5590 38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.G1161G5160G2880G2893G4143G1544G4621G1519G2281

The Shipwreck

39Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore.G1161G3753G1096G2250G1921G3756G1093G1161G2657G5100G2859G2192G123G1519G3739G1011G1487G1410G1856G4143 40So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.G2532G4014G45G1439G1519G2281G260G447G4079G2202G2532G1869G736G4154G2722G1519G123 41But striking a reef, they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf.G1161G4045G1519G5117G1337G2027G3491G2027G2532G4408G3303G2043G3306G761G1161G4403G3089G5259G970G2949 42The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape.G1161G4757G1012G1096G2443G615G1202G3361G5100G1579G1309 43But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land,G1161G1543G1014G1295G3972G2967G846G1013G5037G2753G1410G2860G641G4413G1826G1909G1093 44and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land.G2532G3062G3739G3303G1909G4548G1161G3739G1909G575G4143G5100G2532G3779G1096G1295G3956G1295G1909G1093
