9 And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,
10 saying to them, “Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives—the voyage is about to be”;
saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.

which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.
18 And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,
19 and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,

21 And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, “It was necessary, indeed, O men—having listened to me—not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.
22 and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;
And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.

Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.
32 then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.
33 And until the day was about to be, Paul was calling on all to partake of nourishment, saying, “Fourteen days today, waiting, you continue fasting, having taken nothing,
And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.
34 for this reason I call on you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you will a hair fall from the head”;
Wherefore I exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.

39 And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but were perceiving a certain bay having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,
And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;
40 and having taken up the anchors, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time—having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the foresail to the wind—they were making for the shore,
and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.
41 and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the prow, indeed, having stuck fast, remained immoveable, but the stern was broken by the violence of the waves.

But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;
