Acts 27:7-17

7When we had sailedG1020 slowlyG1020 for a goodG2425 manyG2425 daysG2250, and with difficultyG3433 had arrivedG1096 offG2596 CnidusG2834, 1since the windG417 did not permitG4330 us to go fartherG4330, we sailedG5284 underG5284 the shelterG5284 of 2CreteG2914, offG2596 SalmoneG4534; 8and with difficultyG3433 3sailingG3881 pastG3881 it we cameG2064 to a placeG5117 calledG2564 FairG2568 HavensG2568, nearG1451 whichG3739 was the cityG4172 of LaseaG2996.

9When considerableG2425 timeG5550 had passedG1230 and the voyageG4144 was nowG2235 dangerousG2000, sinceG1223 evenG2532 4the 5fastG3521 was alreadyG2235 overG3928, PaulG3972 began to admonishG3867 them, 10and saidG3004 to them, “MenG435, I perceiveG2334 that the voyageG4144 willG3195 certainlyG3195 be with 6damageG5196 and greatG4183 lossG2209, not onlyG3440 of the cargoG5413 and the shipG4143, but alsoG2532 of our livesG5590.” 11But the centurionG1543 was moreG3123 persuadedG3982 by the 7pilotG2942 and the 8captainG3490 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 9CreteG2914, facingG991 southwestG3047 and northwestG5566, and spendG3914 the winterG3914 there.

1310When a moderateG5285 southG3558 windG3558 cameG5285 up, supposingG1380 that they had attainedG2902 their purposeG4286, they weighedG142 anchorG142 and began 11sailingG3881 alongG3881 12CreteG2914, closeG788 inshore. 14But beforeG3326G3756 veryG4183 longG4183 there 13rushedG906 downG2596 from 14the land a violentG5189 windG417, calledG2564 15EuraquiloG2146; 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 16boatG4627 underG4031 controlG4031. 17After they had hoistedG142 it up, they usedG5530 17supportingG996 cablesG996 in undergirdingG5269 the shipG4143; and fearingG5399 that they might 18runG1601 agroundG1601 on the shallows of SyrtisG4950, they letG5465 downG5465 the 19seaG4632 anchorG4632 and in thisG3779 wayG3779 let themselves be drivenG5342 along.
