Acts 27:9-20

9When considerableG2425 timeG5550 had passedG1230 and the voyageG4144 was nowG2235 dangerousG2000, sinceG1223 evenG2532 1the 2fastG3521 was alreadyG2235 overG3928, PaulG3972 began to admonishG3867 them, 10and saidG3004 to them, “MenG435, I perceiveG2334 that the voyageG4144 willG3195 certainlyG3195 be with 3damageG5196 and greatG4183 lossG2209, not onlyG3440 of the cargoG5413 and the shipG4143, but alsoG2532 of our livesG5590.” 11But the centurionG1543 was moreG3123 persuadedG3982 by the 4pilotG2942 and the 5captainG3490 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 6CreteG2914, facingG991 southwestG3047 and northwestG5566, and spendG3914 the winterG3914 there.

137When a moderateG5285 southG3558 windG3558 cameG5285 up, supposingG1380 that they had attainedG2902 their purposeG4286, they weighedG142 anchorG142 and began 8sailingG3881 alongG3881 9CreteG2914, closeG788 inshore. 14But beforeG3326G3756 veryG4183 longG4183 there 10rushedG906 downG2596 from 11the land a violentG5189 windG417, calledG2564 12EuraquiloG2146; 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 13boatG4627 underG4031 controlG4031. 17After they had hoistedG142 it up, they usedG5530 14supportingG996 cablesG996 in undergirdingG5269 the shipG4143; and fearingG5399 that they might 15runG1601 agroundG1601 on the shallows of SyrtisG4950, they letG5465 downG5465 the 16seaG4632 anchorG4632 and in thisG3779 wayG3779 let themselves be drivenG5342 along. 18The nextG1836 day as we were being violentlyG4971 storm-tossedG5492, 17they began to 18jettisonG1546 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.
