Today's New International Version Help
27When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.G1161G5613G2919G2248G636G1519G2482G3860G5037G3972G2532G5100G2087G1202G3686G2457G1543G4575G4686
2We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.G1161G1910G4143G98G321G3195G4126G2596G5117G773G708G3110G2331G5607G4862G2254
3The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.G5037G2087G2609G1519G4605G5037G2457G5364G5530G3972G2010G4198G4314G5384G5177G1958
4From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.G2547G321G2547G5284G2954G1223G417G1511G1727
5When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.G5037G1277G3989G2596G2791G2532G3828G2718G1519G3460G3073
6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.G2546G1543G2147G4143G222G4126G1519G2482G1688G2248G1519G846
7We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.G1161G1020G1722G2425G2250G2532G3433G1096G2596G2834G417G3361G4330G2248G5284G2914G2596G4534
8We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.G5037G3433G3881G846G2064G1519G5100G5117G2564G2570G2568G3040G1451G3739G2258G4172G2996
9Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement. So Paul warned them,G1161G2425G5550G1230G2532G4144G5607G2235G2000G1223G3521G3928G2532G2235G3928G3972G3867
10"Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also."G3004G846G435G2334G3754G4144G3195G1510G3326G5196G2532G4183G2209G3756G3440G5414G2532G4143G235G2532G2257G5590
11But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.G1161G1543G3982G2942G2532G3490G3123G2228G3004G5259G3972
12Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.G1161G5225G3040G5225G428G4314G3915G4119G1012G5087G321G2547G1513G4458G1410G2658G1519G5405G3914G3040G2914G991G2596G3047G2532G2596G5566
13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.G1161G3558G5285G1380G2902G4286G142G3881G788G2914
14Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island.G1161G3756G4183G3326G906G2596G846G5189G417G2564G2148
15The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.G1161G4143G4884G2532G1410G3361G503G417G1929G5342
16As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure,G1161G5295G5100G3519G2564G2802G2480G3433G2480G4031G1096G4627
17so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.G3739G142G5530G996G5269G4143G5037G5399G3361G1601G1519G4950G5465G4632G3779G5342
18We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.G1161G2257G4971G5492G1836G1546G4160
19On 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 the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.G1161G3383G2246G3383G798G1909G4119G2250G2014G5037G3756G3641G5494G1945G3956G1680G2248G4982G4014G3063G4014
21After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: "Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss.G1161G5225G4183G776G5119G3972G2476G1722G3319G846G2036G5599G435G1163G3303G3980G3427G3361G321G575G2914G5037G2770G5026G5196G2532G2209
22But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.G2532G3569G3867G5209G2114G1063G2071G3762G580G5590G1537G5216G4133G4143
23Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside meG1063G3936G3427G5026G3571G32G2316G3739G1510G2532G3739G3000
24and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.'G3004G5399G3361G3972G4571G1163G3936G2541G2532G2400G2316G5483G4671G3956G4126G3326G4675
25So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.G1352G435G2114G1063G4100G2316G3754G3779G2071G2596G3739G5158G2980G3427
26Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island."G1161G2248G1163G1601G1519G5100G3520
27On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.G1161G5613G5065G3571G1096G2257G1308G1722G99G2596G3319G3571G3492G5282G846G4317G5100G5561
28They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet deep.G2532G1001G2147G1501G3712G1161G1339G1024G1001G3825G2532G2147G1178G3712
29Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.G5037G5399G3381G4458G1601G1601G1519G5117G5138G4496G5064G45G1537G4403G2172G1096G2250
30In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow.G1161G3492G2212G5343G1537G4143G2532G5465G4627G1519G2281G4392G5613G3195G1614G45G1537G4408
31Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved."G3972G2036G1543G2532G4757G3362G3778G3306G1722G4143G5210G3756G1410G4982
32So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.G5119G4757G609G4979G4627G2532G1439G846G1601
33Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. "For the last fourteen days," he said, "you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven't eaten anything.G1161G891G3739G2250G1096G3195G3972G3870G537G3335G5160G3004G4594G5065G2250G4328G1300G777G4355G3367
34Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head."G1352G3870G5209G4355G5160G1063G5124G5225G4314G5212G4991G1063G4098G3762G2359G4098G1537G2776G3762G5216
35After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.G1161G5023G2036G2532G2983G740G2168G2316G1799G3956G2532G2806G756G2068
36They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves.G1161G1096G846G1096G3956G2115G4355G2532G4355G5160
37Altogether there were 276 of us on board.G1161G2258G3956G1722G4143G1250G1440G1803G5590
38When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.G1161G5160G2880G2893G4143G1544G4621G1519G2281
39When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.G1161G3753G1096G2250G1921G3756G1093G1161G2657G5100G2859G2192G123G1519G3739G1011G1487G1410G1856G4143
40Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.G2532G4014G45G1439G1519G2281G260G447G4079G2202G2532G1869G736G4154G2722G1519G123
41But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.G1161G4045G1519G5117G1337G2027G3491G2027G2532G4408G3303G2043G3306G761G1161G4403G3089G5259G970G2949
42The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.G1161G4757G1012G1096G2443G615G1202G3361G5100G1579G1309
43But the centurion wanted to spare Paul's life and kept 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 get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.G2532G3062G3739G3303G1909G4548G1161G3739G1909G575G4143G5100G2532G3779G1096G1295G3956G1295G1909G1093
