2 Exodus
44 Acts 27:1-44
   1And 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.
2And 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.
3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10And 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.
11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
 12And 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 lieth toward the south west and north west.
13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20And 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.
 21But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any mans life among you, but of the ship.
23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
 27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30And as the shipmen 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 foreship,
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
 33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35And 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.
36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
 39And 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.
40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42And the soldiers counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43But 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:
44And 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.(KJV)
44 Acts 27:1-44
1And 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.
2And 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.
3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19And day 3 we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20And 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.
21But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27But when night 14 was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28And sounded, and found it 20 fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it 15 fathoms.
29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast 4 anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30And as the shipmen 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 foreship,
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is day 14 that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35And 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.
36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37And we were in all in the ship 276 souls.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39And 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.
40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41And falling into a place where 2 seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

44 Acts 27:1-44
1And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
2And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.
4And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.
7And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.
13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
15and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.
16And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the the freight overboard;
19and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
21And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.
25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.
26But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:
28and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.
30And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
35And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.
36Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.
37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
40And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
42And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;
44and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.(ASV)
44 Acts 27:1-44
1THEN Festus commanded him to be sent to Caesar in Italy, and he delivered Paul together with other prisoners to a centurion of the company of Sebastian named Julius.
2When we were ready to sail, we embarked in a ship of the city of Adramyttium, bound for Asia Minor, and there boarded the ship with us, Aristarchus a Macedonian of the city of Thessalonica.
3And the next day, we arrived at Sidon. And the centurion treated Paul with kindness, permitting him to visit his friends and to rest.
4Then we sailed from there, and because the winds were contrary, we had to sail towards Cyprus.
5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we arrived at Myra, a city of Lycia.
6And there the centurion found a ship from Alexandria bound for Italy; and he put us on board.
7And because for a number of days she sailed slowly, we arrived with difficulty towards the Island of Cnidus; and since the wind would not allow us to sail in a straight course, we had to sail around Crete towards the city of Salmone;
8And after we had passed around it with difficulty, we arrived at a place which is called The Fair Havens; and nearby was the city of Lasea.
9There we remained for a long time, even till the day of the Jewish fast was over and, since it had now become dangerous for any one to sail, Paul gave them advice,
10Saying, Men, I see that this voyage will be beset with hardship and with great loss, not only of the cargo of our ship but also of our lives.
11Nevertheless, the centurion listened to the master and owner of the ship more than to the words of Paul.
12¶ And as the harbor was not commodious for wintering, many of us were desirous to sail from there, and if possible to reach and winter in a harbor at Crete which is called Phenice, which lies towards the south.
13And when the south wind blew softly, they thought they could reach their destination as they had desired, and we sailed around Crete.
14A short while after, there arose against us a hurricane called Typhonic Euroclydon.
15And when the ship was caught and could not bear against the wind, we let her drive.
16And as we passed under the lee of an island which is called Clauda, we could hardly man the ship's boat.
17And when we had launched it, we began undergirding and repairing the ship; and because we were afraid of grounding, we lowered the sail, and so we drifted.
18And as the violent storm raged against us, the next day we threw our belongings into the sea.
19And on the third day we cast overboard with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20And as the winter was so severe that for many days neither sun nor stars could be seen, all hope of surviving was given up.
21¶ Then as no man among them had eaten anything, Paul stood up in the midst of them, and said, Men, if you had listened to me, we would not have sailed from Crete, and we would have been spared this loss and suffering.
22Now let me counsel you not to be depressed; for not a single life among you will be lost, but only the ship.
23For there has appeared to me this night the angel of God to whom I belong and whom I serve,
24And he said to me, Fear not, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all of those who sail with you.
25Therefore, men, be of good cheer; for I have confidence in God, that it shall be just as it was told me;
26However, we will be cast upon an island.
27And after fourteen days of being lost and weary in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors thought they were drawing near to land.
28So they cast the sounding lead, and found twenty fathoms; and again, they sailed a little farther, and took soundings and found fifteen fathoms.
29Then, fearing lest we find ourselves caught between the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern of the ship, and prayed for the dawning of day.
30The sailors sought to desert the ship; so they lowered the ship's boat into the sea, under pretense that they were going in it to make fast the ship to the land.
31And when Paul found it out, he said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain on board the ship, you cannot be saved.
32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the ship's boat from the ship and let her drift.
33But Paul till the early morning kept begging them all to eat, saying to them, Today is the fourteenth day since you have tasted anything because of fear.
34Wherefore, I pray you to take some food for the sustenance of your life; for not a hair shall be lost from the head of any of you.
35And when he had thus spoken, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it, they began to eat.
36Then they were all cheerful, and received nourishment.
37We were in all two hundred and seventy-six persons on board.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by taking the wheat and throwing it into the sea.
39When it was day, the sailors did not know what land it was; but they saw an inlet close to the shore, and thought if it were possible they would land the ship there.
40So they cut off the anchors from the ship and threw them into the sea, and loosed the rudder ropes; then they hoisted the topsail to the wind and sailed toward shore.
41But the ship struck on a shoal between two deep places in the sea and went aground; and the forward part rested upon the bottom and could not be moved, but the stern broke by the violence of the waves.
42And the soldiers sought to kill the prisoners, lest some of them should swim away and so escape.
43But the centurion stopped them from doing this, because he was willing to save Paul; so he commanded those who could swim to cast themselves first into the sea and get to land.
44The others he made cross over on boards and on broken pieces of the ship. In this manner, all of them escaped and reached shore safely.
(LAM)
44 Acts 27:1-44
1And 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.
2And embarking in a ship of Adramyt'tium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristar'chus, a Macedo'nian from Thessaloni'ca.
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.
4And putting to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.
5And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cili'cia and Pamphyl'ia, we came to Myra in Ly'cia.
6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and put us on board.
7We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Cni'dus, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmo'ne.
8Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lase'a.
9As much time had been lost, and the voyage was already dangerous because the fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,
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."
11But the centurion paid more attention to the captain and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
12And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking northeast and southeast, and winter there.
13And when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close inshore.
14But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land;
15and when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven.
16And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the boat;
17after hoisting it up, they took measures to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they should run on the Syr'tis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18As we were violently storm-tossed, they began next day to throw the cargo overboard;
19and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackle of the ship.
20And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
21As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.
22I now bid you take heart; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23For this very night there stood by me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,
24and he said, `Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and lo, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.
26But we shall have to run on some island."
27When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of A'dria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.
28So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.
29And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let out four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.
30And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,
31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it go.
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.
34Therefore I urge you to take some food; it will give you strength, since not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you."
35And when he had said this, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat.
36Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.
37(We were in all two hundred and seventy-six persons in the ship.)
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
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 bring the ship ashore.
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.
41But striking a shoal they ran the vessel aground; the bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was broken up by the surf.
42The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape;
43but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their purpose. He ordered those who could swim to throw themselves overboard first and make for the land,
44and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all escaped to land.(RSV)
44 Acts 27:1-44
1When 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.
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.
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.
4From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
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.
8We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Fast. So Paul warned them,
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."
11But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
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.
13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had obtained what they wanted; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
14Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the "northeaster," swept down from the island.
15The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.
16As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure.
17When the men had hoisted it aboard, they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
18We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.
19On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.
20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
21After the men 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.
22But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.
23Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me
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.'
25So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
26Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island."
27On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
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.
29Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.
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.
31Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved."
32So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it fall away.
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.
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."
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.
36They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves.
37Altogether there were 276 of us on board.
38When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
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.
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.
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.
42The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.
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.
44The rest were to get there on planks or on pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land in safety.(NIV)
44 Acts 27:1-44
1When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
2Embarking 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.
3The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7When 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.
8With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10and 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.'
11But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12Because 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 northeast and southeast.
13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14But before long, a tempestuous wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15When the ship was caught, and couldn't face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17After 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.
18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
20When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small tempest pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
21When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, 'Sirs, youP should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24saying, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26But we must run aground on a certain island.'
27But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
28They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms..
29Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30As 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,
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, 'Unless these stay in the ship, youP can't be saved.'
32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, 'This day is the fourteenth day that youP wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.'
35When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
36Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39When 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.
40Casting 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.
41But 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.
42The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43But 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;
44and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.(WEB)

44 Acts 27:1-44
1THEN Festus commanded him to be sent to Caesar in Italy, and he delivered Paul together with other prisoners to a centurion of the company of Sebastian named Julius.
2When we were ready to sail, we embarked in a ship of the city of Adramyttium, bound for Asia Minor, and there boarded the ship with us, Aristarchus a Macedonian of the city of Thessalonica.
3And the next day, we arrived at Sidon. And the centurion treated Paul with kindness, permitting him to visit his friends and to rest.
4Then we sailed from there, and because the winds were contrary, we had to sail towards Cyprus.
5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we arrived at Myra, a city of Lycia.
6And there the centurion found a ship from Alexandria bound for Italy; and he put us on board.
7And because for a number of days she sailed slowly, we arrived with difficulty towards the Island of Cnidus; and since the wind would not allow us to sail in a straight course, we had to sail around Crete towards the city of Salmone;
8And after we had passed around it with difficulty, we arrived at a place which is called The Fair Havens; and nearby was the city of Lasea.
9There we remained for a long time, even until the day of the Jewish fast was over and, since it had now become dangerous for anyone to sail, Paul gave them advice,
10Saying, Men, I see that this voyage will be beset with hardship and with great loss, not only of the cargo of our ship but also of our lives.
11Nevertheless, the centurion listened to the master and owner of the ship more than to the words of Paul.
12And as the harbor was not suitable for wintering, many of us desired to sail from there, and if possible to reach and winter in a harbor at Crete which is called Phenice, which lies towards the south.
13And when the south wind blew softly, they thought they could reach their destination as they had desired, and we sailed around Crete.
14A short while after, there arose against us a hurricane called Typhonic Euroclydon.
15And when the ship was caught and could not bear against the wind, we let her drive.
16And as we passed under the lee of an island which is called Clauda, we could hardly man the ship's boat.
17And when we had launched it, we began undergirding and repairing the ship; and because we were afraid of grounding, we lowered the sail, and so we drifted.
18And as the violent storm raged against us, the next day we threw our belongings into the sea.
19And on the 3rd day we cast overboard with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20And as the winter was so severe that for many days neither sun nor stars could be seen, all hope of surviving was given up.
21Then as no man among them had eaten anything, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, Men, if you had listened to me, we would not have sailed from Crete, and we would have been spared this loss and suffering.
22Now let me counsel you not to be depressed; for not a single life among you will be lost, but only the ship.
23For there has appeared to me this night the angel of God to whom I belong and whom I serve,
24And he said to me, Do not fear, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and look, God has granted you all of those who sail with you.
25Therefore, men, be of good cheer; for I have confidence in God, that it will be just as it was told me;
26However, we will be cast on an island.
27And after 14 days of being lost and weary in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors thought they were drawing near to land.
28So they cast the sounding lead, and found 20 fathoms; and again, they sailed a little farther, and took soundings and found 15 fathoms.
29Then, fearing lest we find ourselves caught between the rocks, they cast 4 anchors from the stern of the ship, and prayed for the dawning of day.
30The sailors sought to desert the ship; so they lowered the ship's boat into the sea, under pretense that they were going in it to make fast the ship to the land.
31And when Paul found it out, he said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain on board the ship, you cannot be saved.
32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the ship's boat from the ship and let her drift.
33But Paul, until the early morning, kept begging them all to eat, saying to them, Today is the 14th day since you have tasted anything because of fear.
34Therefore, I ask, take some food for the sustenance of your life; for not a hair will be lost from the head of any of you.
35And when he had thus spoken, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it, they began to eat.
36Then they were all cheerful, and received nourishment.
37We were in all 276 persons on board.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by taking the wheat and throwing it into the sea.
39When it was day, the sailors did not know what land it was; but they saw an inlet close to the shore, and thought if it were possible they would land the ship there.
40So they cut off the anchors from the ship and threw them into the sea, and loosed the rudder ropes; then they hoisted the topsail to the wind and sailed toward shore.
41But the ship struck on a shoal between 2 deep places in the sea and went aground; and the forward part rested on the bottom and could not be moved, but the stern broke by the violence of the waves.
42And the soldiers sought to |
