Acts 27

1AndG1161 whenG5613 it was determined thatG2919 weG1473 should sailG636 intoG1519 ItalyG3588G2482, they deliveredG3860 PaulG3972 andG2532 certainG5100 otherG2087 prisonersG1202 untoG3686 one namedG3686 JuliusG2457, a centurionG1543 of Augustus’G4575 bandG4686.

2AndG1161 entering intoG1910 a shipG4143 of AdramyttiumG98, we launchedG321, meaningG3195 to sailG4126 byG2596 the coastsG5117 of AsiaG3588G773; one AristarchusG708, a MacedonianG3110 of ThessalonicaG2331, beingG1510 withG4862 usG1473.

3AndG5037 the nextG3588G2087 day we touchedG2609 atG1519 SidonG4605. AndG5037 JuliusG3588G2457 courteouslyG5364 entreatedG5530 PaulG3588G3972, and gaveG2010 him libertyG2010 to goG4198 untoG4314 his friendsG5384 to refresh himselfG1958G5177.

4And whenG2547 we had launchedG321 from thenceG2547, we sailed underG5284 CyprusG3588G2954, becauseG1223 the windsG3588G417 wereG1510 contraryG1727.

5AndG5037 when we had sailed overG1277 the seaG3989 ofG2596 CiliciaG3588G2791 andG2532 PamphyliaG3828, we cameG2718 toG1519 MyraG3460, a city of LyciaG3588G3073.

6And thereG2546 the centurionG3588G1543 foundG2147 a shipG4143 of AlexandriaG222 sailingG4126 intoG1519 ItalyG3588G2482; and he putG1688 usG1473 thereinG846.

7AndG1161 whenG1722 we had sailed slowlyG1020 manyG2425 daysG2250, andG2532 scarceG3433 were comeG1096 over againstG2596 CnidusG3588G2834, the windG3588G417 notG3361 sufferingG4330 usG1473, we sailed underG5284 CreteG3588G2914, over againstG2596 SalmoneG4534;

8AndG5037, hardlyG3433 passingG3881 itG846, cameG2064 untoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG5100 is calledG2564 The fairG2570 havensG3040; nighG1451 whereuntoG3739 wasG1510 the cityG4172 of LaseaG2996.

9NowG1161 when muchG2425 timeG5550 was spentG1230, andG2532 when sailingG3588G4144 wasG1510 nowG2235 dangerousG2000, becauseG1223 the fastG3588G3521 wasG3928 nowG2532 alreadyG2235 pastG3928, PaulG3588G3972 admonishedG3867 them,

10AndG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, SirsG435, I perceiveG2334 thatG3754 this voyageG3588G4144 willG3195 beG1510 withG3326 hurtG5196 and muchG4183 damageG2209, notG3756 onlyG3440 of the ladingG3588G5414 andG2532 shipG3588G4143, butG235 alsoG2532 of ourG1473 livesG3588G5590.

11NeverthelessG1161 the centurionG1543 believedG3982 the masterG3588G2942 andG2532 the owner of the shipG3588G3490, moreG3123 thanG2228 those thingsG3588 which were spokenG3004 byG5259 PaulG3588G3972.

12AndG1161 because the havenG3588G3040 wasG5225 not commodiousG428 toG4314 winter inG3915, the more partG4119 advisedG5087 to departG321 thence alsoG2547, if by any meansG1513 they mightG1410 attainG2658 toG1519 PheniceG5405, and there to winterG3914; which is an havenG3040 of CreteG3588G2914, and liethG991 towardG2596 the south westG3047 andG2532 north westG5566.

13AndG1161 when the south windG3558 blew softlyG5285, supposing thatG1380 they had obtainedG2902 their purposeG3588G4286, loosingG142 thence, they sailedG3881 closeG788 by CreteG3588G2914.

14ButG1161 notG3756 longG4183 afterG3326 there aroseG906 againstG2596 itG846 a tempestuousG5189 windG417, calledG2564 EuroclydonG2148.

15AndG1161 when the shipG3588G4143 was caughtG4884, andG2532 couldG1410 notG3361 bear up intoG503 the windG3588G417, we letG1929 her driveG5342.

16AndG1161 running underG5295 a certainG5100 islandG3519 which is calledG2564 ClaudaG2802, we hadG2480 muchG3433 workG2480 to comeG1096 byG4031 the boatG3588G4627:

17WhichG3739 when they had taken upG142, they usedG5530 helpsG996, undergirdingG5269 the shipG3588G4143; andG5037, fearingG5399 lestG3361 they should fallG1601 intoG1519 the quicksandsG3588G4950, strakeG5465 sailG3588G4632, and soG3779 were drivenG5342.

18AndG1161 weG1473 being exceedinglyG4971 tossed with a tempestG5492, the nextG1836 day they lightenedG4160 the shipG1546;

19AndG2532 the thirdG5154 day we cast outG4496 with our own handsG849 the tacklingG3588G4631 of the shipG3588G4143.

20AndG1161 when neitherG3383 sunG2246 norG3383 starsG798 inG1909 manyG4119 daysG2250 appearedG2014, andG5037 noG3756 smallG3641 tempestG5494 lay onG1945 us, allG3956 hopeG1680 that weG1473 should be savedG4982 wasG4014 thenG3063 taken awayG4014.

21ButG1161 afterG5119 longG4183 abstinenceG776 PaulG3588G3972 stood forthG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846, and saidG3004, SirsG435, ye shouldG1163 have hearkenedG3980 unto meG1473, andG321 notG3361 have loosedG321 fromG575 CreteG3588G2914, andG5037 to have gainedG2770 thisG3778 harmG3588G5196 andG2532 lossG3588G2209.

22AndG2532 nowG3569 I exhortG3867 youG4771 to beG2114 of good cheerG580: forG1063 there shall beG1510 no lossG3762 ofG5590 any man’s lifeG5590 amongG1537 youG4771, butG4133 of the shipG3588G4143.

23ForG1063 there stoodG3936 by meG1473 thisG3778 nightG3588G3571 the angelG32 of GodG3588G2316, whoseG3739 I amG1510, andG2532 whomG3739 I serveG3000,

24SayingG3004, FearG5399 notG3361, PaulG3972; thouG4771 must beG1163 brought beforeG3936 CæsarG2541: andG2532, loG3708, GodG3588G2316 hath givenG5483 theeG4771 allG3956 themG3588 that sailG4126 withG3326 theeG4771.

25WhereforeG1352, sirsG435, be of good cheerG2114: forG1063 I believeG4100 GodG3588G2316, thatG3754 itG3779 shall beG1510 evenG2596 asG5158 it was toldG2980 meG1473.

26HowbeitG1161 weG1473 mustG1163 be castG1601 uponG1519 a certainG5100 islandG3520.

27ButG1161 whenG5613 the fourteenthG5065 nightG3571 was comeG1096, as weG1473 were driven up and downG1308 inG1722 AdriaG3588G99, aboutG2596 midnightG3588G3571 the shipmenG3588G3492 deemed thatG5282 theyG846 drew near toG4317 someG5100 countryG5561;

28AndG2532 soundedG1001, and foundG2147 it twentyG1501 fathomsG3712: andG1161 when they had goneG1339 a little furtherG1024, they soundedG1001 againG3825, andG2532 foundG2147 it fifteenG1178 fathomsG3712.

29ThenG5037 fearingG5399 lestG3381 we should have fallenG1601 uponG1519 rocksG5138G5117, they castG4496 fourG5064 anchorsG45 out ofG1537 the sternG4403, and wishedG2172 forG1096 the dayG2250.

30AndG1161 as the shipmenG3492 were aboutG2212 to fleeG5343 out ofG1537 the shipG3588G4143, whenG2532 they had let downG5465 the boatG3588G4627 intoG1519 the seaG3588G2281, under colourG4392 as thoughG5613 they wouldG3195 have castG1614 anchorsG45 out ofG1537 the foreshipG4408,

31PaulG3588G3972 saidG3004 to the centurionG3588G1543 andG2532 to the soldiersG3588G4757, ExceptG1437 theseG3778 abideG3306 inG1722 the shipG3588G4143, yeG4771 cannotG3756 be savedG4982.

32ThenG5119 the soldiersG3588G4757 cut offG609 the ropesG3588G4979 of the boatG3588G4627, andG2532 letG1439 herG846 fall offG1601.

33AndG1161 whileG891 the dayG2250 wasG3195 coming onG1096, PaulG3588G3972 besoughtG3870 them allG537 to takeG3335 meatG5160, sayingG3004, This dayG4594 is the fourteenthG5065 dayG2250 thatG3739 ye have tarriedG4328 and continuedG1300 fastingG777, having takenG4355 nothingG3367.

34WhereforeG1352 I prayG3870 youG4771 to takeG4355 some meatG5160: forG1063 this isG3778 forG4314 yourG5212 healthG4991: forG1063 there shallG5225 notG3762 an hairG2359 fallG4098 fromG1537 the headG3588G2776 of any of youG4771.

35And whenG1161 he hadG3004 thusG3778 spokenG3004, he tookG2983 breadG740, andG2532 gave thanksG2168 to GodG3588G2316 in presenceG1799 of them allG3956: andG2532 when he had brokenG2806 it, he beganG756 to eatG2068.

36ThenG1161 wereG1096 they allG3956 of good cheerG2115, andG2532 theyG846 also tookG4355 some meatG5160.

37AndG1161 we wereG1510 in allG3956 inG1722 the shipG3588G4143 two hundredG1250 threescore and sixteenG1440G1803 soulsG3588G5590.

38And whenG1161 they had eaten enoughG2880, they lightenedG2893 the shipG3588G4143, and cast outG1544 the wheatG3588G4621 intoG1519 the seaG3588G2281.

39AndG1161 whenG3753 it wasG1096 dayG2250, they knewG1921 notG3756 the landG3588G1093: butG1161 they discoveredG2657 a certainG5100 creekG2859 withG2192 a shoreG123, intoG1519 the whichG3739 they were mindedG1011, ifG1487 it were possibleG1410, to thrustG1856 in the shipG3588G4143.

40AndG2532 when they had taken upG4014 the anchorsG3588G45, they committedG1439 themselves untoG1519 the seaG3588G2281, andG260 loosedG447 the rudderG3588G4079 bandsG3588G2202, andG2532 hoised upG1869 the mainsailG3588G736 to the windG3588G4154, and madeG2722 towardG1519 shoreG3588G123.

41AndG1161 fallingG4045 intoG1519 a placeG5117 where two seas metG1337, they ranG2027 the shipG3588G3491 agroundG2027; andG2532 the forepartG4408 stuck fastG2043, and remainedG3306 unmoveableG761, butG1161 the hinder partG4403 was brokenG3089 withG5259 the violenceG3588G970 of the wavesG3588G2949.

42AndG1161 the soldiers’G4757 counselG1012 wasG1096 toG2443 killG615 the prisonersG3588G1202, lestG3361 anyG5100 of them should swim outG1579, and escapeG1309.

43ButG1161 the centurionG1543, willingG1014 to saveG1295 PaulG3588G3972, keptG2967 themG846 fromG3588 their purposeG1013; andG5037 commanded thatG2753 theyG3588 which couldG1410 swimG2860 should castG641 themselves firstG4413 into the sea, and getG1826 toG1909 landG3588G1093:

44AndG2532 the restG3588G3062, someG3739 onG1909 boardsG4548, andG1161 someG3739 onG1909 broken pieces ofG575 the shipG3588G4143. AndG2532 soG3779 it came to passG1096, that they escapedG1295 allG3956 safeG1295 toG1909 landG3588G1093.
