Acts 27:14-17

14Soon a powerful wind (called a northeaster) blew from the island.

15The wind carried the ship away, and we couldn’t sail against the wind. We couldn’t do anything, so we were carried along by the wind.

16As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely got control of the ship’s lifeboat.

17The men pulled it up on deck. Then they passed ropes under the ship to reinforce it. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank off the shores of Libya, they lowered the sail and were carried along by the wind.
