Acts 27:11-21

11But the centurionG1543 was moreG3123 persuadedG3982 by the 1pilotG2942 and the 2captainG3490 of the shipG3490 thanG2228 by what was being saidG3004 by PaulG3972. 12Because the harborG3040 was not suitableG428 for winteringG3915, the majorityG4183 reachedG5087 a decisionG1012 to putG321 out to seaG321 from thereG1564, ifG1487 somehowG4458 they couldG1410 reachG2658 PhoenixG5405, a harborG3040 of 3CreteG2914, facingG991 southwestG3047 and northwestG5566, and spendG3914 the winterG3914 there.

13 4When a moderateG5285 southG3558 windG3558 cameG5285 up, supposingG1380 that they had attainedG2902 their purposeG4286, they weighedG142 anchorG142 and began 5sailingG3881 alongG3881 6CreteG2914, closeG788 inshore. 14But beforeG3326 G3756 veryG4183 longG4183 there 7rushedG906 downG2596 from 8the land a violentG5189 windG417, calledG2564 9EuraquiloG2146; 15and when the shipG4143 was caughtG4884 in it and couldG1410 not faceG503 the windG417, we gaveG1929 wayG1929 to it and let ourselves be drivenG5342 along. 16RunningG5295 underG5295 the shelterG5295 of a smallG3519 islandG3519 calledG2564 ClaudaG2802, we were scarcelyG3433 ableG2480 to getG1096 the ship’s 10boatG4627 underG4031 controlG4031. 17After they had hoistedG142 it up, they usedG5530 11supportingG996 cablesG996 in undergirdingG5269 the shipG4143; and fearingG5399 that they might 12runG1601 agroundG1601 on the shallows of SyrtisG4950, they letG5465 downG5465 the 13seaG4632 anchorG4632 and in thisG3779 wayG3779 let themselves be drivenG5342 along. 18The nextG1836 day as we were being violentlyG4971 storm-tossedG5492, 14they began to 15jettisonG1546 the cargoG1546; 19and on the thirdG5154 day they threwG4496 the ship’sG4143 tackleG4631 overboard with their ownG849 handsG849. 20Since neitherG3383 sunG2246 norG3383 starsG798 appearedG2014 for manyG4183 daysG2250, and noG3756 smallG3641 stormG5494 was assailingG1945 us, from thenG3062 on allG3956 hopeG1680 of our being savedG4982 was gradually abandonedG4014.

21 16When they had goneG5225 a longG4183 timeG776 withoutG776 foodG776, thenG5119 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 up in their midstG3319 and saidG3004, “17MenG435, you oughtG1163 to have 18followedG3980 my adviceG3980 and not to have setG321 sailG321 from 19CreteG2914 and 20incurredG2770 thisG3778 21damageG5196 and lossG2209.
