Acts 27:14-17
14But before very long a violent wind, called 1Euraquilo, 2rushed down from 3the land;
15and when the ship was caught in it and could not head up into the wind, we gave up and let ourselves be driven by the wind.
16Running under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, we were able to get the ship’s 4boat under control only with difficulty.
17After they had hoisted it up, they used 5supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might 6run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the 7sea anchor and let themselves be driven along in this way.
