Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 27, verses 1-28

¹ When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan^a Or battalioncohort named Julius. ² And embarking in an Adramyttian ship, which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of^b I.e. west coast province of Asia MinorAsia, we put out to sea accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica. ³ The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul with consideration and allowed him to go to his friends and receive care. ⁴ From there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of Cyprus because the winds were contrary. ⁵ When we had sailed through the sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia. ⁶ There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it. ⁷ When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, since the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the shelter of Crete, off Salmone; ⁸ and with difficulty sailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.	1 Act 16:10 Act 27:1-28 Act 25:12 Act 25:25 Act 18:2 Act 27:6 Act 10:1 2 Act 2:9 Act 19:29 Act 16:9 Act 17:1 3 Mat 11:21 Act 27:43 Act 24:23 4 Act 4:36 Act 27:7 5 Act 6:9 Act 13:13 6 Act 28:11 Act 18:2 Act 27:1 7 Act 27:4 Act 2:11 Act 27:12 Act 27:21 Tit 1:5 Tit 1:12 8 Act 27:13
⁹ When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the^cfast was already over, Paul began to admonish them, ¹⁰ and said to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” ¹¹ But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the^d Or ownercaptain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. ¹² Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.	9 Lev 16:29-31 Lev 23:27-29 Num 29:7 10 Act 27:21 11 Rev 18:17 12 Act 2:11 Act 27:13 Act 27:21 Tit 1:5 Tit 1:12
¹³ ^e Lit a south wind having gently blownWhen a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore.	13 Act 27:8 Act 2:11 Act 27:12 Act 27:21 Tit 1:5 Tit 1:12
¹⁴ But before very long there rushed down from^f Lit itthe land a violent wind, called^g I.e. a northeasterEuraquilo; ¹⁵ and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be driven along. ¹⁶ Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship’s^hboat under control. ¹⁷ After they had hoisted it up, they usedⁱ Lit helpssupporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the^j Or gearsea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along. ¹⁸ The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed,^k Lit they were doing a throwing outthey began to jettison the cargo; ¹⁹ and on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. ²⁰ Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned.	14 Mar 4:37 17 Act 27:26 Act 27:29 18 Jon 1:5 Act 27:38
²¹ ^lWhen they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have^m Lit obeyed mefollowed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete andⁿ Lit gainedincurred this damage and loss. ²² Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. ²³ For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, ²⁴ saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’ ²⁵ Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that^o Lit it will beit will turn out exactly as I have been told. ²⁶ But we must run aground on a certain island.”	21 Act 27:10 Act 27:7 Act 27:10 22 Act 27:25 Act 27:36 23 Act 5:19 Rom 1:9 Act 18:9 Act 23:11 Ti2 4:17 24 Act 23:11 Act 27:31 Act 27:42 Act 27:44 25 Act 27:22 Act 27:36 26 Act 27:17 Act 27:29 Act 28:1
