Acts 27:12-20

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.
