Acts 27
1 When it was cocluded that we shuld sayle into Italy they delivered Paul and certayne other presoners vnto one named Iulius an vnder captayne of Cesars soudiars.
When now was determined sailing our to Italy, they were delivering both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the cohort of Augustus.
2 And we entred into a ship of Adramicium and lowsed from lond apoynted to sayle by the costes of Asia one Aristarcus out of Macedonia of the contre of Thessalia beinge with vs.
Having boarded then on a ship of Adramyttium (being about *N(k)O*) to sail (to *no*) the along Asia places we set sail — while was being with us Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica.
3 And the nexte daye we came to Sidon. And Iulius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberte to goo vnto his frendes and to refresshe him selfe.
On the then next [day] we landed at Sidon, Considerately then Julius Paul was treating he allowed [him] to [his] friends (may be going *N(k)O*) care to receive.
4 And from thence lanched we and sayled harde by Cypers because the wyndes were contrarye.
And from there And from there having set sail we sailed under Cyprus because of the winds being contrary,
5 Then sayled we over the see of Cilicia and Pamphylia and came to Myra a cite in Lycia.
And then along Cilicia and Pamphylia having sailed across [the sea] we came to Myra of Lycia.
6 And there ye vnder captayne founde a shippe of Alexander redy to sayle into Italy and put vs therin.
And there And there having found the centurion a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy he placed us into it.
7 And when we had sayled slowly many dayes and scace were come over agaynst Gnydon (because the wynde with stode vs) we sayled harde by the costes of Candy over agaynste Salmo
For many now days sailing slowly and with difficulty having arrived off Cnidus not is permitting us the wind we sailed under Crete off Salmone,
8 and with moche worke sayled beyonde yt and came vnto a place called good porte. Nye whervnto was a citie called Lasea.
With difficulty and coasting along it we came to a place certain being called Fair Havens, to which near [the] city was of Lasea.
9 When moche tyme was spent and saylinge was now ieoperdeous because also that we had overlonge fasted Paul put them in remembraunce
When much now time having passed and is being already dangerous the voyage because of even the Fast already being over, was admonishing [them] Paul
10 and sayde vnto them Syrs I perceave that this vyage wilbe with hurte and moche domage not of the ladynge and ship only: but also of oure lyves.
saying to them; Men, I understand that with disaster and much loss not only of the (burden *N(k)O*) and of the ship but also the lives of us ensuing to be the voyage.
11 Neverthelather the vndercaptayne beleved the governer and the master better then tho thinges which were spoken of Paul.
But the centurion by the pilot and by the ship owner rather was persuaded than by the [things] by (*k*) Paul spoken.
12 And because the haven was not comodius to wynter in many toke counsell to departe thence yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices and there to wynter which is an haven of Candy and servith to the southwest and northwest wynde.
Unsuitable now the harbor being to winter in the majority reached a decision to set sail (from there, *N(k)O*) if somehow they would be able having arrived at Phoenix to winter [there] — a harbor of Crete looking toward [the] southwest and toward [the] northwest.
13 When the south wynde blewe they supposynge to obtayne their purpose lowsed vnto Asson and sayled paste all Candy.
When was blowing gently now a south wind having thought the purpose to have obtained, having weighed [anchor] very near they were coasting along Crete.
14 But anone after ther arose agaynste their purpose a flawe of wynde out of the northeeste.
After not long however it threw down from it a wind tempestuous which is being called [the] Northeaster.
15 And when the ship was caught and coulde not resist the wynde we let her goo and drave with the wether.
When was being seized then the ship and not being able to face to the wind having given way we were driven along.
16 And we came vnto an yle named Clauda and had moche worke to come by abote
An Island then certain having run under being called (Cauda *N(K)O*) we were able with difficulty control to gain of the lifeboat,
17 which they toke vp and vsed helpe vndergerdynge the shippe fearynge lest we shuld have fallen into Syrtes and we let doune a vessell and so were caryed.
which having taken up supports they were using undergirding the ship; Fearing then lest into the sandbars of Syrtis they may fall having lowered the gear, thus they were driven along.
18 The nexte daye when we were tossed wt an exceadynge tempest they lyghtened ye ship
Violently now being storm-tossed of us on the next [day] a jettison of cargo they were making;
19 and the thyrde daye we cast out with oure awne hondes the tacklynge of the shippe.
and on the third [day] with [their] own hands the tackle of the ship (they cast away; *N(K)O*)
20 When at the last nether sunne nor starre in many dayes appered and no small tempest laye apon vs all hope that we shuld be saved was then taken awaye.
Neither now sun nor stars appearing for many days, tempest and no small afflicted [us] from then on was abandoned hope all of being saved us.
21 Then after longe abstinence Paul stode forth in the myddes of them and sayde: Syrs ye shulde have harkened to me and not have lowsed from Candy nether to have brought vnto vs this harme and losse.
Much (also *N(k)O*) time without food there being at that time having stood up Paul in midst of them he said; It was necessary [for you] indeed, O men, having been obedient to me not to have set sail from Crete, to have incurred then disaster this and loss.
22 And nowe I exhorte you to be of good chere. For ther shalbe no losse of eny mas lyfe amonge you save of the ship only.
And yet now I exhort you to keep up your courage; loss for of life none there will be from among you only of the ship.
23 For ther stode by me this nyght the angell of God whose I am and whom I serve
Stood by for me this night of God whose am (I myself *n*) whom and I serve an angel
24 sayinge: feare not Paul for thou must be brought before Cesar. And lo God hath geven vnto the all that sayle with ye.
saying; Not do fear, Paul, to Caesar you it behooves to stand before, And behold has granted to you God all those sailing with you.
25 Wherfore Syrs be of good chere: for I beleve God that so it shalbe even as it was tolde me.
Therefore take courage men; I believe for in God that thus it will be according to the way it has been said to me.
26 How be it we must be cast into a certayne ylonde.
Upon an island however certain it behooves us to fall.
27 But when ye fourtethe nyght was come as we were caryed in Adria about mydnyght the shipmen demed that ther appered some countre vnto the:
When then [the] fourteenth night had come being driven about of us in the Adriatic, toward [the] middle of the night were sensing the sailors to be drawing near some to them land;
28 and sounded and founde it. xx. feddoms. And when they had gone a lytell further they sounded agayne and founde. xv. feddoms.
And having taken soundings they found fathoms twenty, A little then having gone farther and again having taken soundings they found fathoms fifteen;
29 Then fearinge lest they shuld have fallen on some Rocke they cast. iiii. ancres out of the sterne and wysshed for ye daye.
Fearing then lest perhaps (on *N(k)O*) rocky places (we may fall, *NK(O)*) out of [the] stern having cast anchors four they were praying for day to come.
30 As the shipmen were about to fle out of the ship and had let doune the bote into the see vnder a coloure as though they wolde have cast ancres out of the forshippe:
Of the then sailors seeking to flee out of the ship and having let down the lifeboat into the sea under pretense as from [the] bow anchors being about to cast out
31 Paul sayd vnto ye vnder captayne and the soudiers: excepte these abyde in the ship ye cannot be safe.
said Paul to the centurion and to the soldiers; Only unless these shall remain in the ship, [then] you yourselves to be saved not you are able.
32 Then the soudiers cut of the rope of the bote and let it fall awaye.
Then cut away the soldiers the ropes of the lifeboat and allowed her to fall away.
33 And in ye meane tyme betwixt that and daye Paul besought them all to take meate sayinge: this is ye fourtenthe daye that ye have taried and continued fastynge receavinge nothinge at all.
Until then that day was about to come, was urging Paul all to partake of food saying; [the] fourteenth today [is] day watching without eating you continue nothing having taken.
34 Wherfore I praye you to take meate: for this no dout is for youre helth: for ther shall not an heere fall fro the heed of eny of you.
Therefore I exhort you (to partake *N(k)O*) of food; this indeed for of you preservation is; not [one] for of you a hair (of *N(k)O*) the head (will perish. *N(K)O*)
35 And when he had thus spoke he toke breed and gave thankes to God in presence of the all and brake it and begane to eate.
Having said now these things and having taken bread he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it] he began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheare and they also toke meate.
Encouraged then having been all also themselves they took food;
37 We were all together in ye ship two hundred thre score and sixtene soules.
(we were *N(k)O*) then the altogether souls in the boat (two hundred *NK(O)*) seventy six.
38 And whe they had eate ynough they lightened ye ship and cast out the wheate into the see.
Having been filled then (*o*) with food they were lightening the ship casting out the wheat into the sea.
39 Whe yt was daye they knew not ye lande but they spied a certayne haven with a banke into ye which they were mynded (yf yt were possible) to thrust in the ship.
When now day it was, the land not they were recognizing, a bay however certain they were noticing having a shore, on which (they were determining *N(k)O*) if (they would be able, *NK(o)*) (to drive [aground] *NK(O)*) the ship.
40 And when they had taken vp the ancres they comytted them selves vnto the see and lowsed the rudder bondes and hoysed vp ye mayne sayle to the wynde and drue to londe.
And the anchors having cut away they were leaving [them] in the sea, at the same time having loosened the ropes of the rudders And having hoisted the foresail to the blowing [wind] they were making for the shore.
41 But they chaunsed on a place which had the see on bothe the sydes and thrust in the ship. And the foore parte stucke fast and moved not but ye hynder brake with the violence of the waves.
Having fallen however into a place between two seas they ran aground the vessel; and the indeed bow having stuck fast it remained immovable, however the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
42 The soudears counsell was to kyll ye presoners lest eny of them when he had swome out shulde fle awaye.
Of the now soldiers [the] plan was that the prisoners they may kill, lest anyone having swum away (may escape. *N(k)O*)
43 But the vndercaptayne willinge to save Paul kept the from their purpose and commaunded that they yt could swyme shulde cast the selves first in to ye see and scape to londe.
But the centurion desiring to save Paul hindered them of the purpose, he commanded then those being able to swim having cast [themselves] off first on the land to go out,
44 And the other he comaunded to goo some on bordes and some on broken peces of the ship. And so it came to passe that they came all safe to londe.
and the rest some indeed on boards, some however on things from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all being saved to the land.
