'And2when1it was decided3that4we6should sail5for7Italy,9they delivered10Paul13and14some15other16prisoners17to a centurion18of the Augustan22Cohort21named19Julius.20 And2embarking in1a ship3of Adramyttium,4which was about5to sail6to7the8ports12along9the [coast of]10Asia,11we put to sea,13accompanied by141516Aristarchus,17a Macedonian18from Thessalonica.19 The1next [day]3we put in4at5Sidon.6And8Julius10treated13Paul12kindly7andgave [him] leave14to go18to15hisfriends17andbe cared for.1920 And1putting out to sea2from there1we sailed under3the [lee of]4Cyprus,5because67the8winds9were10against [us].11 And2when we had sailed across10the1open sea3along5the [coast of]6Cilicia7and8Pamphylia,9we came11to12Myra13in Lycia.15 There1the3centurion4found2a ship5of Alexandria6sailing7for8Italy10andput11us12on board.1314 We sailed slowly5for1a number of2days4and6arrived8with difficulty7off9Cnidus,11and asthe15wind16didnot12allow13us14to go farther,13we sailed under17the [lee of]18Crete19off20Salmone.21 Coasting along3it4with difficulty,1we came5to6a8place7called9Fair10Havens,11near13which12was15the city14ofLasea.16 [Since]2much1time3had passed,4and5the9voyage10was6now7dangerous8because1112even13the14Fast15was13already16over,17Paul20advised18them, saying,1“Sirs,3I perceive4that5the25voyage26will be2324with6injury7and8much9loss,10not11only12of the13cargo14and15the16ship,17but18also19of21our22lives.”21 But2the1centurion3paid10more9attention to10the4pilot5and6to the7owner of the ship8than11to13what12Paul14said.15 And2becausethe3harbor4was5not suitable1to spend the winter in,7the8majority9decided1011to put out12to seafrom there,13on the chance that14somehow15they could16reach17Phoenix,19a harbor21of Crete,23facing24bothsouthwest26and27northwest,29andspend the winter there.20 Now2when1the south wind3blew gently,1supposing4that they had obtained7theirpurpose,6they weighed [anchor]8andsailed along10Crete,12close to9the shore. But4soon23a tempestuous9wind,8called11the10northeaster,12struck down5from6the land.7 And2when1the3ship4was caught1and5could7not6face8the9wind,10we12gave way to11it andwere driven along.12 Running under4the lee ofa small island1called5Cauda,6we managed7with difficulty8to secure910the11ship’s boat.12 Afterhoisting2it1up,2they used4supports3to undergird5the6ship.7Then,9fearing8thatthey would run aground14on11the12Syrtis,13they lowered15the16gear,17andthus18they were driven along.19 Sincewe4were violently1storm-tossed,3they began8the5next [day]6to jettison the cargo.7 And1on the2third [day]3they threw9the5ship’s8tackle6overboardwith their own hands.4 When6neither1sun3nor4stars5appeared6for7many8days,9and11no12small13tempest10lay on14us,all18hope17ofour21being saved20was16at last15abandoned.16 Sincethey had been4without food3for a long time,1Paul8stood up6among910them11andsaid,12“Men,16youshould13have listened to17me18andnot19have set sail20from21Crete23and2incurred24this28injury27and29loss.31 Yet1now3I urge4you5to take heart,6for8there will be11no10loss7of life9among12you,13but only14of the15ship.16 For2this4verynight6there stood before1me3an angel15of the7God8to whom9I11belong10and13whom12I worship,14 andhe said,1‘Donot2be afraid,3Paul;4you6must7stand before8Caesar.5And9behold,10God14has granted11you12all15those16who sail17with18you.’19 So1take heart,2men,3for5I have faith in4God7that8it will be10exactly9as111213I15have been told.14 But3we6must5run aground7on1some4island.”2 When1thefourteenth3night4had come,5as6we7were being driven across6the9Adriatic Sea,10about11midnight121314the16sailors17suspected15thatthey20were nearing18land.21 So1they took a sounding2andfound3twenty5fathoms.4A little farther on6they took a sounding11again10and9found12fifteen14fathoms.13 And2fearing1thatwe might run8on5the rocks,6they let down11four13anchors12from9the stern10andprayed14for day15to come.16 And2as4the1sailors3were seeking4to escape5from6the7ship,8and9had lowered10the11ship’s boat12into13the14sea15under pretense16of laying out22anchors20from18the bow,19 Paul3said1to the4centurion5and6the7soldiers,8“Unless910these men11stay12in13the14ship,15you16cannot1819be saved.”17 Then1the3soldiers4cut away2the5ropes6of the7ship’s boat8and9let10it11go.12 As6day4was about to dawn,56Paul9urged7them all10to take11somefood,12saying,13“Today15is thefourteenth14day16thatyou have continued19in suspense17andwithout food,18having taken21nothing.20 Therefore1I urge2you3to take4somefood.5For7it6will[give]8you10[strength],11for14not13a hair16is to perish20from17the18head19of any13of you.”15 And2when he had said1these things,3he took5bread,6andgiving thanks7to God9in the presence of10all11he broke13itand12began14to eat.15 Then2they7all4were3encouraged1and5ate7somefood8themselves.6 (We were1in all427691011persons5in6the7ship.)8 And2when they had eaten enough,1they lightened4the5ship,6throwing out7the8wheat9into10the11sea.12 Now2when1it was4day,3they did8not7recognize8the5land,6but10they noticed12a bay9with13a beach,14on15which16they planned17if18possible19to run20the21ship22ashore. So1they cast off4the2anchors3andleft5themin6the7sea,8at the same time9loosening10the11ropes12that tiedthe13rudders.14Then15hoisting16the17foresail18to the19wind20they made21for22the23beach.24 But2striking1[a reef],5they ran6the7vessel8aground.6The10bow12stuck13andremained14immovable,15and17the16stern18was being broken up19by20the23surf.24 The1soldiers’3plan4was5to kill69the7prisoners,8lest10any11should13swim away12andescape.13 But2the1centurion,3wishing4to save5Paul,7kept8them9from carrying out8theirplan.11He ordered12those14who could15swim16to jump overboard17first18andmake22for19the20land,21 and1the2rest3on6planks7or9on10pieces11of13the14ship.15And16so17it was18thatall19were brought safely20to21land.23
