Acts 27:11-21

11But the centurionG1543 was moreG3123 persuadedG3982 by the 1pilotG2942 and the 2captainG3490 ofG3490 theG3490 shipG3490 thanG2228 by what was being saidG3004 by PaulG3972. 12The harborG3040 was notG428 suitableG428 for winteringG3915, so the majorityG4183 reachedG5087 a decisionG1012 to putG321 outG321 to seaG321 fromG1564 thereG1564, ifG1487 somehowG4458 they couldG1410 reachG2658 PhoenixG5405, a harborG3040 of 3CreteG2914 facingG991 southwestG3047 and northwestG5566, and spendG3914 theG3914 winterG3914 there.

134When a moderateG5285 southG3558 windG3558 cameG5285 upG5285, thinkingG1380 that they had attainedG2902 their purposeG4286, they weighedG142 anchorG142 and began 5sailingG3881 alongG3881 6CreteG2914, closerG788 to shore. 14But beforeG3326G3756 veryG4183 longG4183 a violentG5189 windG417, calledG2564 7EuraquiloG2146, 8rushedG906 downG2596 from 9the land; 15and when the shipG4143 was caughtG4884 in it and couldG1410 not headG503 upG503 intoG503 the windG417, we gaveG1929 upG1929 and let ourselves be drivenG5342 by the wind. 16RunningG5295 underG5295 theG5295 shelterG5295 of a smallG3519 islandG3519 calledG2564 CaudaG2802, we wereG2480 ableG2480 to getG1096 the ship’s 10boatG4627 underG4031 controlG4031 only withG3433 difficultyG3433. 17After they had hoistedG142 it upG142, 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 let themselves be drivenG5342 along inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779. 18The nextG1836 day as we were being violentlyG4971 tossedG5492 byG5492 the stormG5492, 14they began to 15jettisonG1546 theG1546 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, fromG3062 thenG3062 onG3062 allG3956 hopeG1680 of our being savedG4982 was slowly abandonedG4014.

2116When manyG4183 had lostG5225G776 their appetitesG776, PaulG3972 thenG5119 stoodG2476 amongG3319 them and saidG3004, “1718MenG435, you shouldG1163 have followedG3980 my adviceG3980 and not have setG321 sailG321 from 19CreteG2914, and thereby sparedG2770 yourselves thisG3778 20damageG5196 and lossG2209.
