Acts 27:9-20

9When considerableG2425 timeG5550 had passedG1230 and the voyageG4144 was nowG2235 dangerousG2000, sinceG1223 evenG2532 1the 2fastG3521 was alreadyG2235 overG3928, PaulG3972 started admonishingG3867 them, 10sayingG3004 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 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 6CreteG2914 facingG991 southwestG3047 and northwestG5566, and spendG3914 theG3914 winterG3914 there.

137When a moderateG5285 southG3558 windG3558 cameG5285 upG5285, thinkingG1380 that they had attainedG2902 their purposeG4286, they weighedG142 anchorG142 and began 8sailingG3881 alongG3881 9CreteG2914, closerG788 to shore. 14But beforeG3326G3756 veryG4183 longG4183 a violentG5189 windG417, calledG2564 10EuraquiloG2146, 11rushedG906 downG2596 from 12the 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 13boatG4627 underG4031 controlG4031 only withG3433 difficultyG3433. 17After they had hoistedG142 it upG142, 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 let themselves be drivenG5342 along inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779. 18The nextG1836 day as we were being violentlyG4971 tossedG5492 byG5492 the stormG5492, 17they began to 18jettisonG1546 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.
