Acts 27:12-20

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 1CreteG2914 facingG991 southwestG3047 and northwestG5566, and spendG3914 theG3914 winterG3914 there.

132When a moderateG5285 southG3558 windG3558 cameG5285 upG5285, thinkingG1380 that they had attainedG2902 their purposeG4286, they weighedG142 anchorG142 and began 3sailingG3881 alongG3881 4CreteG2914, closerG788 to shore. 14But beforeG3326G3756 veryG4183 longG4183 a violentG5189 windG417, calledG2564 5EuraquiloG2146, 6rushedG906 downG2596 from 7the 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 8boatG4627 underG4031 controlG4031 only withG3433 difficultyG3433. 17After they had hoistedG142 it upG142, they usedG5530 9supportingG996 cablesG996 in undergirdingG5269 the shipG4143; and fearingG5399 that they might 10runG1601 agroundG1601 on the shallows of SyrtisG4950, they letG5465 downG5465 the 11seaG4632 anchorG4632 and let themselves be drivenG5342 along inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779. 18The nextG1836 day as we were being violentlyG4971 tossedG5492 byG5492 the stormG5492, 12they began to 13jettisonG1546 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.
