when

And

it was determined

 

should sail

that we

into

 

Italy

they delivered

 

 

Paul

and

certain

other

prisoners

a centurion

unto one named

Julius

band

of Augustus

entering

And

into a ship

of Adramyttium

meaning

to sail

 

by

 

of Asia

the coasts

we launched

being

with

us

one Aristarchus

a Macedonian

of Thessalonica

 

And

the next

day we touched

at

Sidon

courteously

And

 

And Julius

 

Paul

entreated

and gave him liberty

unto

friends

to go

 

to refresh himself

And

when we had launched

we sailed under

 

Cyprus

because

 

 

the winds

were

contrary

 

And

the sea

 

of

 

Cilicia

and

Pamphylia

when we had sailed over

we came

to

Myra

 

a city of Lycia

And there

found

 

the centurion

a ship

of Alexandria

sailing

into

 

Italy

and he put

us

into

 

 

many

And

days

when we had sailed slowly

and

scarce

were come

over against

 

Cnidus

not

suffering

us

 

the wind

we sailed under

 

Crete

over against

Salmone

hardly

And

passing

it

came

unto

place

a

which is called

havens

havens

whereunto

nigh

was

the city

of Lasea

when much

Now

time

was spent

and

was

already

dangerous

 

when sailing

because

 

and

 

the fast

already

past

admonished

 

Paul

And said

unto them

Sirs

I perceive

that

with

hurt

also

much

damage

not

only

 

of the lading

also

 

ship

but

also

 

lives

of our

will be

 

 

this voyage

 

Nevertheless

the centurion

 

the master

and

 

the owner of the ship

believed

more

than

 

by

 

Paul

those things which were spoken

not commodious

And

 

the haven

because

to

winter in

 

the more part

 

advised

to depart

thence also

if

they might

attain

to

Phenice

and there to winter

the haven

 

of Crete

and lieth

toward

the south west

and

toward

north west

blew softly

And

when the south wind

supposing

 

their purpose

that they had obtained

loosing

close by

thence they sailed

 

Crete

after

not

long

But

there arose

against

it

wind

a tempestuous

 

called

Euroclydon

was caught

And

 

when the ship

and

not

could

bear up into

 

the wind

we let her drive

 

island

And

a certain

running under

which is called

Clauda

much

we had

to come by

 

 

the boat

Which

when they had taken up

helps

they used

undergirding

 

the ship

fearing

and

lest

into

 

the quicksands

they should fall

strake

 

sail

and so

were driven

being exceedingly

And

tossed with a tempest

we

 

the next

day they lightened the ship

 

And

 

the third

with our own hands

 

the tackling

 

of the ship

day we cast out

nor

And

sun

nor

stars

appeared

in

many

days

tempest

and

no

small

lay on

then

taken away

us all

hope

 

should be saved

that we

long

But

abstinence

after

 

stood forth

 

Paul

in

the midst

of them

and said

ye should

 

Sirs

 

have hearkened

unto me

and not

have loosed

from

 

Crete

to have gained

and

 

harm

 

and

 

loss

And

 

I exhort

you

to be of good cheer

loss

for

of any man's life

no

there shall be

among

you

but

 

of the ship

there stood by

For

me

 

night

 

the angel

 

of God

whom

I am

whom

and

I serve

Saying

not

Fear

Paul

Caesar

thou

must

be brought before

and

lo

hath given

thee

 

God

all

 

them that sail

with

thee

Wherefore

be of good cheer

sirs

I believe

for

 

God

that

 

it shall be

even

 

as

it was told

me

upon

island

Howbeit

a certain

must

we

be cast

when

But

the fourteenth

night

was come

were driven up and down

as we

in

 

Adria

about

midnight

 

night

deemed

 

the shipmen

drew near

to some

 

country

And

sounded

and found

fathoms

it twenty

a little further

and

when they had gone

And

again

sounded

and found

fathoms

it fifteen

fearing

Then

lest

upon

 

rocks

we should have fallen

out of

the stern

they cast

anchors

four

and wished

for the day

 

 

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

out of

the foreship

they would

anchors

have cast

said

 

Paul

 

to the centurion

and

 

to the soldiers

 

 

these

abide

in

 

the ship

ye

be saved

cannot

 

Then

 

the soldiers

cut off

 

the ropes

 

of the boat

and

let

her

fall off

while

And

 

on

day

was coming

besought

 

Paul

them all

to take

meat

saying

is the fourteenth

This day

day

that ye have tarried

fasting

and continued

nothing

having taken

Wherefore

I pray

you

to take

some meat

this

for

for

 

your

health

is

not

for

of you

an hair

from

 

the head

fall

spoken

And

when he had thus

and

he took

bread

and gave thanks

 

to God

in presence

of them all

and

when he had broken

it he began

to eat

of good cheer

Then

were they

all

also

 

and they

some meat

 

And

in

 

the ship

 

in all

souls

two hundred

threescore

and sixteen

enough

And

when they had eaten

they lightened

 

the ship

and cast out

 

the wheat

into

 

the sea

when

And

day

it was

 

the land

not

they knew

creek

And

a certain

they discovered

with

a shore

into

the which

they were minded

if

it were possible

to thrust in

 

the ship

And

 

the anchors

when they had taken up

they committed

themselves unto

 

the sea

and

loosed

 

bands

 

the rudder

And

hoised up

 

the mainsail

 

to the wind

and made

themselves unto

 

shore

falling

And

into

a place

where two seas met

aground

 

the ship

and

 

 

the forepart

stuck fast

and remained

unmoveable

 

And

the hinder part

was broken

with

 

the violence

 

of the waves

 

And

the soldiers

counsel

was

to

 

the prisoners

kill

lest

any of them

should swim out

and escape

 

But

the centurion

willing

to save

 

Paul

kept

them

 

from their purpose

commanded

and

 

that they which could

swim

should cast

themselves first

to

 

land

into the sea and get

And

 

the rest

some

 

on

boards

some

and

on

 

 

broken pieces of

 

the ship

And

so

it came to pass

all

safe

on

 

land
