27:11-29
But the centurion the steersman and the shipmaster rather
was persuaded by than the by Paul things said. 12 But unsuitable the port
being for wintering the majority place counsel to set sail thence if
somehow they might be able having arrived at Phoenis to pass the winter, a
port of Crete looking toward southwest and towards north-west. 13 And blowing gently a south wind
thinking the purpose to have obtained, raising
close in shore they coasted by Crete. 14 And after not much there beat down it
wind a tempestuous being called Euraquilo; 15 and being seized the ship and
not being able to beat up against the wind giving way we were borne. 16 And islet a certain running under the
tee of being called Clauda we were able hardly control to get of the
boat. 17 which taking helps they
used, undergirding the ship;: and fearing lest
into Syria
they might fall off, lowering the tackle thus they were borne. 18 But exceedingly being in the grip us on the next a
jettisoning they made, 19 and on the third day with their own hands the
tackle of the ship they threw out.
20 And neither sun nor stars appearing over many days, and stormy

hope all to be saved us. 21 And much abstinence being then standing Paul in
the midst of them said: it behoved o men, obeying me not to set sail from Crete and to come by injury this and loss. 23 And now I advise you to be of good
cheer for throwing away of life no there will be of you but of the
ship. 23 For there stood by me in
the night of God of whom I am, whom also I serve, an angel 24 saying: Fear
not, Paul, Caesar thee it behoves to stand before, and behold has given
thee God all the ones sailing with thee.
25 Wherefore be ye of good cheer men; for I believe God that thus it
will be in the way in which it has been spoken to me, 26 Onto island but a
certain behoves us to fall off. 27 Now when the fourteenth night came being
carried about us in the Adria, about the middle of the night supposed the
sailors to approach some to them country.
28 And sounding they found fathoms twenty and a little having moved
also again sounding they found fathoms fifteen; 29 and fearing lest
somewhere against rough places we might fall off, out of the stern throwing
anchors four they prayed day to become.
