Paul Sails for Rome

27When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were transferred to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the emperor's division.G1161G5613G2919G2248G636G1519G2482G3860G5037G3972G2532G5100G2087G1202G3686G2457G1543G4575G4686
2After boarding a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to the ports on the coast of Asia, we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.1G1161G1910G4143G98G321G3195G4126G2596G5117G773G708G3110G2331G5607G4862G2254
3The next day we arrived at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to visit his friends there and receive any care he needed.G5037G2087G2609G1519G4605G5037G2457G5364G5530G3972G2010G4198G4314G5384G5177G1958
4After putting out from there, we sailed on the sheltered side of Cyprus because the winds were against us.G2547G321G2547G5284G2954G1223G417G1511G1727
5We sailed along the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia and reached Myra in Lycia.G5037G1277G3989G2596G2791G2532G3828G2718G1519G3460G3073
6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put us on it.G2546G1543G2147G4143G222G4126G1519G2482G1688G2248G1519G846
7We sailed slowly for a number of days and with difficulty arrived off Cnidus. Then, because the wind was against us, we sailed on the sheltered side of Crete off Cape Salome.G1161G1020G1722G2425G2250G2532G3433G1096G2596G2834G417G3361G4330G2248G5284G2914G2596G4534
8Sailing past it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.G5037G3433G3881G846G2064G1519G5100G5117G2564G2570G2568G3040G1451G3739G2258G4172G2996
9Much time had been lost, and because navigation had become dangerous and the day of fasting had already past, Paul began to warn those on the ship,G1161G2425G5550G1230G2532G4144G5607G2235G2000G1223G3521G3928G2532G2235G3928G3972G3867
10"Men, I see that during this voyage there will be hardship and a heavy loss not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives."G3004G846G435G2334G3754G4144G3195G1510G3326G5196G2532G4183G2209G3756G3440G5414G2532G4143G235G2532G2257G5590
11But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship and not by what Paul said.G1161G1543G3982G2942G2532G3490G3123G2228G3004G5259G3972
12Since the harbor was not a good place to spend the winter, most of the men favored putting out to sea from there on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix and spend the winter there. It is a Cretian harbor that faces southwest and northwest.G1161G5225G3040G5225G428G4314G3915G4119G1012G5087G321G2547G1513G4458G1410G2658G1519G5405G3914G3040G2914G991G2596G3047G2532G2596G5566
13When a gentle breeze began to blow from the south, they thought they could make it to Phoenix, so they hoisted anchor and began sailing along the shore of Crete.G1161G3558G5285G1380G2902G4286G142G3881G788G2914
14But it was not long before a violent wind (called a northeaster) swept down from the island.G1161G3756G4183G3326G906G2596G846G5189G417G2564G2148
15The ship was caught so that it couldn't face the wind, and we gave up and were swept along.G1161G4143G4884G2532G1410G3361G503G417G1929G5342
16As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the ship's lifeboat.G1161G5295G5100G3519G2564G2802G2480G3433G2480G4031G1096G4627
17The ship's crew pulled it up on deck and used ropes to brace the ship. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank near Lybia, they lowered the sail and drifted along.G3739G142G5530G996G5269G4143G5037G5399G3361G1601G1519G4950G5465G4632G3779G5342
18The next day, because we were being tossed so violently by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard.G1161G2257G4971G5492G1836G1546G4160
19On the third day they threw the ship's equipment overboard with their own hands.G2532G5154G4496G849G4631G4143
20For a number of days neither the sun nor the stars were to be seen, and the storm continued to rage until at last all hope of our being saved vanished.16G1161G3383G2246G3383G798G1909G4119G2250G2014G5037G3756G3641G5494G1945G3956G1680G2248G4982G4014G3063G4014
21After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood among his shipmates and said, "Men, you should have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would have avoided this hardship and damage.G1161G5225G4183G776G5119G3972G2476G1722G3319G846G2036G5599G435G1163G3303G3980G3427G3361G321G575G2914G5037G2770G5026G5196G2532G2209
22But now I urge you to have courage because there will be no loss of life among you, but only loss of the ship.G2532G3569G3867G5209G2114G1063G2071G3762G580G5590G1537G5216G4133G4143
23For just last night an angel of God, to whom I belong and whom I serve, stood by meG1063G3936G3427G5026G3571G32G2316G3739G1510G2532G3739G3000
24and said, 'Stop being afraid, Paul! You must stand before the emperor. Indeed, God has given to you the lives of everyone who is sailing with you.'G3004G5399G3361G3972G4571G1163G3936G2541G2532G2400G2316G5483G4671G3956G4126G3326G4675
25So take courage, men, because I trust God that it will turn out just as he told me.G1352G435G2114G1063G4100G2316G3754G3779G2071G2596G3739G5158G2980G3427
26However, we will have to run aground on some island."G1161G2248G1163G1601G1519G5100G3520

The Shipwreck

27It was the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea when about midnight the sailors suspected that land was near.G1161G5613G5065G3571G1096G2257G1308G1722G99G2596G3319G3571G3492G5282G846G4317G5100G5561
28After taking soundings, they found the depth to be twenty fathoms. A little later they took soundings again and found it was fifteen fathoms.G2532G1001G2147G1501G3712G1161G1339G1024G1001G3825G2532G2147G1178G3712
29Fearing that we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and began praying for daylight to come.G5037G5399G3381G4458G1601G1601G1519G5117G5138G4496G5064G45G1537G4403G2172G1096G2250
30Meanwhile, the sailors had begun trying to escape from the ship. They lowered the lifeboat into the sea and pretended that they were going to lay out the anchors from the bow.G1161G3492G2212G5343G1537G4143G2532G5465G4627G1519G2281G4392G5613G3195G1614G45G1537G4408
31Paul told the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men remain onboard, you cannot be saved."G3972G2036G1543G2532G4757G3362G3778G3306G1722G4143G5210G3756G1410G4982
32Then the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and set it adrift.29G5119G4757G609G4979G4627G2532G1439G846G1601
33Right up to daybreak Paul kept urging all of them to eat something. He said, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and going without food, not eating anything.G1161G891G3739G2250G1096G3195G3972G3870G537G3335G5160G3004G4594G5065G2250G4328G1300G777G4355G3367
34So I urge you to eat something, for it will help you survive, since none of you will lose so much as a hair from his head."G1352G3870G5209G4355G5160G1063G5124G5225G4314G5212G4991G1063G4098G3762G2359G4098G1537G2776G3762G5216
35After he said this, he took some bread, thanked God in front of everyone, broke it, and began to eat.G1161G5023G2036G2532G2983G740G2168G2316G1799G3956G2532G2806G756G2068
36Everyone was encouraged and had something to eat.G1161G1096G846G1096G3956G2115G4355G2532G4355G5160
37There were276 of us on the ship.G1161G2258G3956G1722G4143G1250G1440G1803G5590
38After they had eaten all they wanted, they began to lighten the ship by dumping its cargo of wheat into the sea.2733G1161G5160G2880G2893G4143G1544G4621G1519G2281
39When day came, they didn't recognize the land, but they could see a bay with a beach on which they planned to run the ship ashore, if possible.G1161G3753G1096G2250G1921G3756G1093G1161G2657G5100G2859G2192G123G1519G3739G1011G1487G1410G1856G4143
40So they cut the anchors free and left them in the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes that held the steering oars, raised the foresail to the wind, and headed for the beach.G2532G4014G45G1439G1519G2281G260G447G4079G2202G2532G1869G736G4154G2722G1519G123
41But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow stuck and couldn't be moved, while the stern was broken to pieces by the force of the waves.G1161G4045G1519G5117G1337G2027G3491G2027G2532G4408G3303G2043G3306G761G1161G4403G3089G5259G970G2949
42The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners to keep them from swimming ashore and escaping,G1161G4757G1012G1096G2443G615G1202G3361G5100G1579G1309
43but the centurion wanted to save Paul, so he prevented them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.G1161G1543G1014G1295G3972G2967G846G1013G5037G2753G1410G2860G641G4413G1826G1909G1093
44The rest were to follow, some on planks and others on various pieces of the ship. In this way everyone got to shore safely.2740G2532G3062G3739G3303G1909G4548G1161G3739G1909G575G4143G5100G2532G3779G1096G1295G3956G1295G1909G1093
