27:1 And
when
it
was
decided
that
we
should
sail
for
Italy,
they
delivered
Paul
and
some
other
prisoners
to
a
centurion
of
the
Augustan
Cohort
named
Julius.
27:2 And
embarking
in
a
ship
of
Adramyttium,
which
was
about
to
sail
to
the
ports
along
the
coast
of
Asia,
we
put
to
sea,
accompanied
by
Aristarchus,
a
Macedonian
from
Thessalonica.
27:3 The
next
day
we
put
in
at
Sidon.
And
Julius
treated
Paul
kindly
and
gave
him
leave
to
go
to
his
friends
and
be
cared
for.
27:4 And
putting
out
to
sea
from
there
we
sailed
under
the
lee
of
Cyprus,
because
the
winds
were
against
us.
27:5 And
when
we
had
sailed
across
the
open
sea
along
the
coast
of
Cilicia
and
Pamphylia,
we
came
to
Myra
in
Lycia.
27:6 There
the
centurion
found
a
ship
of
Alexandria
sailing
for
Italy
and
put
us
on
board.
27:7 We
sailed
slowly
for
a
number
of
days
and
arrived
with
difficulty
off
Cnidus,
and
as
the
wind
did
not
allow
us
to
go
farther,
we
sailed
under
the
lee
of
Crete
off
Salmone.
27:8 Coasting
along
it
with
difficulty,
we
came
to
a
place
called
Fair
Havens,
near
which
was
the
city
of
Lasea.
27:9 Since
much
time
had
passed,
and
the
voyage
was
now
dangerous
because
even
the
Fast
was
already
over,
Paul
advised
them,
27:10 saying,
"Sirs,
I
perceive
that
the
voyage
will
be
with
injury
and
much
loss,
not
only
of
the
cargo
and
the
ship,
but
also
of
our
lives."
27:11 But
the
centurion
paid
more
attention
to
the
pilot
and
to
the
owner
of
the
ship
than
to
what
Paul
said.
27:12 And
because
the
harbor
was
not
suitable
to
spend
the
winter
in,
the
majority
decided
to
put
out
to
sea
from
there,
on
the
chance
that
somehow
they
could
reach
Phoenix,
a
harbor
of
Crete,
facing
both
southwest
and
northwest,
and
spend
the
winter
there.
27:13 Now
when
the
south
wind
blew
gently,
supposing
that
they
had
obtained
their
purpose,
they
weighed
anchor
and
sailed
along
Crete,
close
to
the
shore.
27:14 But
soon
a
tempestuous
wind,
called
the
northeaster,
struck
down
from
the
land.
27:15 And
when
the
ship
was
caught
and
could
not
face
the
wind,
we
gave
way
to
it
and
were
driven
along.
27:16 Running
under
the
lee
of
a
small
island
called
Cauda,
we
managed
with
difficulty
to
secure
the
ship's
boat.
27:17 After
hoisting
it
up,
they
used
supports
to
undergird
the
ship.
Then,
fearing
that
they
would
run
aground
on
the
Syrtis,
they
lowered
the
gear,
and
thus
they
were
driven
along.
27:18 Since
we
were
violently
storm-tossed,
they
began
the
next
day
to
jettison
the
cargo.
27:19 And
on
the
third
day
they
threw
the
ship's
tackle
overboard
with
their
own
hands.
27:20 When
neither
sun
nor
stars
appeared
for
many
days,
and
no
small
tempest
lay
on
us,
all
hope
of
our
being
saved
was
at
last
abandoned.
27:21 Since
they
had
been
without
food
for
a
long
time,
Paul
stood
up
among
them
and
said,
"Men,
you
should
have
listened
to
me
and
not
have
set
sail
from
Crete
and
incurred
this
injury
and
loss.
27:22 Yet
now
I
urge
you
to
take
heart,
for
there
will
be
no
loss
of
life
among
you,
but
only
of
the
ship.
27:23 For
this
very
night
there
stood
before
me
an
angel
of
the
God
to
whom
I
belong
and
whom
I
worship,
27:24 and
he
said,
'Do
not
be
afraid,
Paul;
you
must
stand
before
Caesar.
And
behold,
God
has
granted
you
all
those
who
sail
with
you.'
27:25 So
take
heart,
men,
for
I
have
faith
in
God
that
it
will
be
exactly
as
I
have
been
told.
27:26 But
we
must
run
aground
on
some
island."
27:27 When
the
fourteenth
night
had
come,
as
we
were
being
driven
across
the
Adriatic
Sea,
about
midnight
the
sailors
suspected
that
they
were
nearing
land.
27:28 So
they
took
a
sounding
and
found
twenty
fathoms.
A
little
farther
on
they
took
a
sounding
again
and
found
fifteen
fathoms.
27:29 And
fearing
that
we
might
run
on
the
rocks,
they
let
down
four
anchors
from
the
stern
and
prayed
for
day
to
come.
27:30 And
as
the
sailors
were
seeking
to
escape
from
the
ship,
and
had
lowered
the
ship's
boat
into
the
sea
under
pretense
of
laying
out
anchors
from
the
bow,
27:31 Paul
said
to
the
centurion
and
the
soldiers,
"Unless
these
men
stay
in
the
ship,
you
cannot
be
saved."
27:32 Then
the
soldiers
cut
away
the
ropes
of
the
ship's
boat
and
let
it
go.
27:33 As
day
was
about
to
dawn,
Paul
urged
them
all
to
take
some
food,
saying,
"Today
is
the
fourteenth
day
that
you
have
continued
in
suspense
and
without
food,
having
taken
nothing.
27:34 Therefore
I
urge
you
to
take
some
food.
For
it
will
give
you
strength,
for
not
a
hair
is
to
perish
from
the
head
of
any
of
you."
27:35 And
when
he
had
said
these
things,
he
took
bread,
and
giving
thanks
to
God
in
the
presence
of
all
he
broke
it
and
began
to
eat.
27:36 Then
they
all
were
encouraged
and
ate
some
food
themselves.
27:37 (We
were
in
all
276
persons
in
the
ship.)
27:38 And
when
they
had
eaten
enough,
they
lightened
the
ship,
throwing
out
the
wheat
into
the
sea.
27:39 Now
when
it
was
day,
they
did
not
recognize
the
land,
but
they
noticed
a
bay
with
a
beach,
on
which
they
planned
if
possible
to
run
the
ship
ashore.
27:40 So
they
cast
off
the
anchors
and
left
them
in
the
sea,
at
the
same
time
loosening
the
ropes
that
tied
the
rudders.
Then
hoisting
the
foresail
to
the
wind
they
made
for
the
beach.
27:41 But
striking
a
reef,
they
ran
the
vessel
aground.
The
bow
stuck
and
remained
immovable,
and
the
stern
was
being
broken
up
by
the
surf.
27:42 The
soldiers'
plan
was
to
kill
the
prisoners,
lest
any
should
swim
away
and
escape.
27:43 But
the
centurion,
wishing
to
save
Paul,
kept
them
from
carrying
out
their
plan.
He
ordered
those
who
could
swim
to
jump
overboard
first
and
make
for
the
land,
27:44 and
the
rest
on
planks
or
on
pieces
of
the
ship.
And
so
it
was
that
all
were
brought
safely
to
land.
