1 But when Ὡς Hōs G5613 it had been determined that we should sail G636 to Italy Ἰταλίαν, Italian G2482 , they delivered παρεδίδουν paredidoun G3860 up Paul Παῦλον Paulon G3972 and certain τινας tinas G5100 other ἑτέρους heterous G2087 prisoners δεσμώτας desmōtas G1202 to a centurion ἑκατοντάρχῃ hekatontarchē G1543 , by name G3686 Julius Ἰουλίῳ Iouliō G2457 , of Augustus' company. 2 And going on board a ship πλοίῳ ploiō G4143 of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places G5117 along Asia Ἀσίαν Asian G773 , we set ἀνήχθημεν anēchthēmen G321 sail G321 , Aristarchus Ἀριστάρχου Aristarchou G708 , a Macedonian G3110 of Thessalonica , being ὄντος ontos G1510 with us . 3 And the next ἑτέρᾳ hetera G2087 day we arrived at Sidon Σιδῶνα, Sidōna G4605 . And Julius Ἰούλιος Ioulios G2457 treated Paul Παύλῳ Paulō G3972 kindly and suffered him to go G4198 to his friends φίλους philous G5384 and refresh himself . 4 And setting ἀναχθέντες anachthentes G321 sail G321 thence we sailed ὑπεπλεύσαμεν hupepleusamen G5284 under the lee of Cyprus Κύπρον Kupron G2954 , because the winds ἀνέμους anemous G417 were G1510 contrary ἐναντίους, enantious G1727 . 5 And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia Κιλικίαν Kilikian G2791 and Pamphylia Παμφυλίαν Pamphulian G3828 we came G2718 to Myra in Lycia : 6 and there the centurion ἑκατοντάρχης hekatontarchēs G1543 having found G2147 a ship πλοῖον ploion G4143 of Alexandria sailing πλέον pleon G4126 to Italy Ἰταλίαν Italian G2482 , he made us go on board her . 7 And sailing slowly for many ἱκαναῖς hikanais G2425 days ἡμέραις hēmerais G2250 , and having with difficulty μόλις molis G3433 got abreast of Cnidus , the wind ἀνέμου anemou G417 not suffering us , we sailed ὑπεπλεύσαμεν hupepleusamen G5284 under the lee of Crete Κρήτην Krētēn G2914 abreast of Salmone ; 8 and coasting it with difficulty μόλις molis G3433 we came G2064 to a certain τινὰ tina G5100 place τόπον topon G5117 called καλούμενον kaloumenon G2564 Fair Havens, near to which was G1510 [ the ] city G4172 of Lasaea. 11 But the centurion ἑκατοντάρχης hekatontarchēs G1543 believed rather μᾶλλον mallon G3123 the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said G3004 by Paul Παύλου Paulou G3972 . 12 And the harbour being ill adapted to winter παραχειμάσαι paracheimasai G3914 in , the most counselled to set ἀναχθῆναι anachthēnai G321 sail G321 thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter G3914 in , a port of Crete Κρήτης Krētēs G2914 looking βλέποντα bleponta G991 north-east and south-east. 13 And [ the ] south νότου notou G3558 wind G3558 blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete Κρήτην. Krētēn G2914 . 14 But not long after there came down κατ᾽ kat᾽ G2596 it a hurricane called καλούμενος kaloumenos G2564 Euroclydon. 15 And the ship πλοίου ploiou G4143 being caught and driven , and not able δυναμένου dunamenou G1410 to bring G5342 her head to the wind ἀνέμῳ anemō G417 , letting her go we were driven [ before it ]. 16 But running under the lee of a certain τι ti G5100 island called καλούμενον kaloumenon G2564 Clauda , we were with difficulty μόλις molis G3433 able ἰσχύσαμεν ischusamen G2480 to make ourselves masters of the boat ; 17 which having hoisted up , they used G5530 helps, frapping the ship πλοῖον· ploion G4143 ; and fearing φοβούμενοί phoboumenoi G5399 lest μὴ mē G3361 they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so G3779 driven . 18 But the storm being extremely violent on us , on the next ἑξῆς hexēs G1836 day G1836 they threw cargo overboard, 19 and on the third τρίτῃ tritē G5154 day with their own hands they cast ἔρριψαν· erripsan G4496 away the ship πλοίου ploiou G4143 furniture. 20 And neither sun ἡλίου hēliou G2246 nor stars ἄστρων astrōn G798 appearing for many G4183 days ἡμέρας, hēmeras G2250 , and no small ὀλίγου oligou G3641 storm lying on us , in the end all hope ἐλπὶς elpis G1680 of our being saved G4982 was taken away G4014 . 21 And when they had been a long while without taking food , Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 then standing G2476 up in the midst μέσῳ mesō G3319 of them said G3004 , Ye ought G1163 , O men G435 , to have hearkened to me , and not have made sail ἀνάγεσθαι anagesthai G321 from Crete Κρήτης, Krētēs G2914 and have gained G2770 this disaster ὕβριν hubrin G5196 and loss ζημίαν. zēmian G2209 . 22 And now νῦν nun G3568 I exhort you to be ἔσται estai G1510 of good courage εὐθυμεῖν· euthumein G2114 , for there shall be G1510 no loss at all of life ψυχῆς psuchēs G5590 of [ any ] of you , only of the ship πλοίου. ploiou G4143 . 24 saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , Fear φοβοῦ, phobou G5399 not , Paul Παῦλε, Paule G3972 ; thou must stand παραστῆναι, parastēnai G3936 before Caesar Καίσαρί Kaisari G2541 ; and behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , God θεὸς theos G2316 has granted κεχάρισταί kecharistai G5483 to thee all those that sail πλέοντας pleontas G4126 with thee. 26 But we must be cast ashore on a certain τινα tina G5100 island νῆσον nēson G3520 . 27 And when Ὡς Hōs G5613 the fourteenth night νὺξ nux G3571 was come ἐγένετο egeneto G1096 , we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle μέσον meson G3319 of the night νυκτὸς nuktos G3571 the sailors ναῦται nautai G3492 supposed that some land χώραν· chōran G5561 neared them , 28 and having sounded found G2147 twenty εἴκοσι, eikosi G1501 fathoms ὀργυιὰς orguias G3712 , and having gone a little βραχὺ brachu G1024 farther and having again πάλιν palin G3825 sounded they found G2147 fifteen δεκαπέντε· dekapente G1178 fathoms ὀργυιὰς orguias G3712 ; 29 and fearing φοβούμενοί phoboumenoi G5399 lest μή mē G3361 we should be cast ῥίψαντες rhipsantes G4496 on rocky places G5117 , casting four τέσσαρας tessaras G5064 anchors ἀγκύρας agkuras G45 out of the stern πρύμνης prumnēs G4403 , they wished that day ἡμέραν hēmeran G2250 were come γενέσθαι. genesthai G1096 . 30 But the sailors ναυτῶν nautōn G3492 wishing to flee φυγεῖν phugein G5343 out of the ship πλοίου ploiou G4143 , and having let down the boat G4143 into the sea θάλασσαν thalassan G2281 under pretext G4392 of being about to carry out anchors ἀγκύρας agkuras G45 from the prow , 31 Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 said G3004 to the centurion ἑκατοντάρχῃ hekatontarchē G1543 and the soldiers στρατιώταις· stratiōtais G4757 , Unless these abide G3306 in the ship πλοίῳ, ploiō G4143 ye cannot be saved G4982 . 32 Then the soldiers στρατιῶται stratiōtai G4757 cut ἀπέκοψαν apekopsan G609 away the ropes of the boat and let her fall. 33 And while it was drawing on to daylight , Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 exhorted G3870 them all to partake of food τροφῆς trophēs G5160 , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , Ye have passed the fourteenth day G2250 watching in expectation without taking food G5160 . 34 Wherefore I exhort παρακαλῶ parakalō G3870 you to partake of food τροφῆς· trophēs G5160 , for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair θρὶξ thrix G2359 from the head κεφαλῆς kephalēs G2776 of any one οὐδενὸς oudenos G3762 of you shall perish ἀπολεῖται.¶ apoleitai G622 . 36 And all taking courage, themselves also καὶ kai G2532 took food τροφῆς· trophēs G5160 . 38 And having satisfied themselves with food τροφῆς trophēs G5160 , they lightened the ship πλοῖον ploion G4143 , casting out the wheat σῖτον siton G4621 into the sea θάλασσαν. thalassan G2281 . 39 And when ὅτε hote G3753 it was day ἡμέρα hēmera G2250 they did not recognise the land γῆν gēn G1093 ; but they perceived a certain τινα tina G5100 bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able δύναιντο, dunainto G1410 , to run the ship πλοῖον. ploion G4143 ashore ; 40 and , having cast off the anchors ἀγκύρας agkuras G45 , they left [them] in the sea θάλασσαν, thalassan G2281 , at the same ἅμα hama G260 time G260 loosening the lashings of the rudders , and hoisting the foresail to the wind , they made for the strand. 41 And falling into a place τόπον topon G5117 where two seas met they ran the ship aground , and the prow having stuck itself fast remained ἔμεινεν emeinen G3306 unmoved, but the stern πρύμνα prumna G4403 was broken G3089 by the force of the waves. 42 And [ the ] counsel G1012 of the soldiers στρατιωτῶν stratiōtōn G4757 was that they should kill ἀποκτείνωσιν, apokteinōsin G615 the prisoners δεσμώτας desmōtas G1202 , lest μή mē G3361 any one G5100 should swim off and escape . 43 But the centurion ἑκατοντάρχης hekatontarchēs G1543 , desirous of saving Paul Παῦλον Paulon G3972 , hindered ἐκώλυσεν ekōlusen G2967 them of their purpose , and commanded ἐκέλευσέν ekeleusen G2753 those who were able δυναμένους dunamenous G1410 to swim , casting themselves first πρώτους prōtous G4413 [ into the sea], to get out on land γῆν gēn G1093 ;
