Acts 27
1 And 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.
And when it was determined for us to sail for Italy, they delivered both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the band of Augustus.
2 And 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.
And having gotten on a ship of Adramyttium that was going to sail to the places along Asia, we launched, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, who treated Paul kindly, allowed him to undergo care, after going to his friends.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
And having sailed across the depths along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it.
7 And 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;
And sailing slowly during considerable days, and with difficulty having come along the Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under lee of Crete, along Salmone.
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea.
And sailing by it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was Lasea City.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them],
And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged,
10 And 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.
saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to be with injury and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul.
12 And 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.
And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete.
And when a south wind blew gently, having presumed to have obtained their purpose, after taking up anchor, they sailed very near by Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive.
And the ship having been caught, and not being able to face the wind, having given up, we were driven.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
And having sailed under lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were able with difficulty, to develop control of the skiff.
17 Which 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.
And having taken that up, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they might fall off into the sandbank, having lowered the vessel, they were driven this way.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next [day] they lightened the ship;
And since we were exceedingly storm-tossed, on the next day they jettisoned.
19 And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
And the third day we cast out by hands the tackling of the ship.
20 And 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.
And when neither sun nor stars appeared for more days, and no small storm laying on, all remaining hope for us to be saved was taken away.
21 But 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.
And being long without food, then Paul, who stood in the midst of them, said, Ye truly ought, O men, to have complied with me, not to launch from Crete, and gain this damage and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of [any man’s] life among you, but of the ship.
And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
But we must fall off upon a certain island.
27 But 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;
And when it became the fourteenth night, as we were driven about in the Adriatic sea, toward midnight the sailors suspected some region to come near them.
28 And sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found [it] fifteen fathoms.
And having tossed lead, they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and having tossed lead again, they found fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
And fearing lest somehow we might falloff on rough places, having cast off four anchors from the stern, they prayed for day to develop.
30 And 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,
And since the sailors sought to flee out of the ship, and having lowered the skiff into the sea in pretense as going to stretch out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff, and let it fall off.
33 And 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.
And until day was going to develop, Paul urged them all to partake of food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day, waiting, ye continue without food, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore 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.
Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.
35 And 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.
And having said these things, and having taken bread, he expressed thanks to God in the presence of all. And having broke in pieces, he began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took [some] meat.
And they all, having become encouraged, also took food.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
And all the souls in the ship were two hundred seventy-six.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
And after being filled of food, they unloaded the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 And 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.
And when it became day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which, they decided if possible, to drive the ship.
40 And 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.
And having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time unfastening the bands of the rudders. And having hoisted up the foresail to the wind, they held firm for the shore.
41 And 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.
And having chanced upon a place where two seas meet, they ran the ship aground. And of course, the bow having become stuck, it remained immovable, but the stern was coming apart by the force of the waves.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
And a decision of the soldiers developed that they should kill the prisoners, lest any man, having swam away, might escape.
43 But 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:
But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prevented them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, having first jumped out, to go to the land,
44 And 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.
and the remaining, some on boards, and some on any of the things from the ship. And so it came to pass for all to be saved to the land.
