Acts 27:5-38

5AndG2532 whenG2532 weG2532 had sailedG1277 across theG3588 seaG3989 whichG3588 is offG2596 CiliciaG2791 andG2532 PamphyliaG3828, weG2532 cameG2718 toG1519 MyraG3460, a city ofG2596 LyciaG3073.

6AndG846 thereG2546 theG3588 centurionG1543 foundG2147 a shipG4143 ofG3588 Alexandria sailingG4126 forG1519 ItalyG2482; andG846 heG846 putG1688 usG1519 therein.

7AndG2532 whenG2532 weG2249 had sailedG5284 slowlyG1020 manyG2425 daysG2250, andG2532 were comeG1096 withG1722 difficultyG3433 overG2596 againstG2596 CnidusG2834, theG3588 windG417 notG3361 further sufferingG1722 usG1722, weG2249 sailedG5284 underG1722 theG3588 lee ofG2250 CreteG2914, overG2596 againstG2596 SalmoneG4534;

8andG2064 withG1519 difficultyG3433 coasting alongG3881 itG846 weG3739 cameG2064 unto aG1510 certainG5100 placeG5117 calledG2564 FairG2570 Havens; nigh whereunto wasG1510 theG3739 cityG4172 ofG5100 LaseaG2996.

9AndG2532 whenG2532 much timeG5550 wasG1510 spent, andG2532 theG3588 voyageG4144 wasG1510 nowG1161 dangerousG2000, becauseG1223 theG3588 FastG3521 wasG1510 nowG1161 alreadyG2235 gone byG1223, PaulG3972 admonished themG1223,

10andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, Sirs, IG1473 perceiveG2334 thatG3754 theG3588 voyageG4144 willG1510 beG1510 withG3326 injury andG2532 muchG4183 lossG2209, notG3756 onlyG3440 ofG435 theG3588 lading andG2532 theG3588 shipG4143, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG435 ourG2532 livesG5590.

11ButG1161 theG3588 centurionG1543 gave moreG3123 heed toG3004 theG3588 master andG2532 toG3004 theG3588 owner ofG2228 theG3588 shipG3490, thanG2228 toG3004 thoseG3588 thingsG3588 whichG3588 were spokenG3004 byG5259 PaulG3972.

12AndG2532 becauseG4314 theG3588 haven was notG1410 commodious toG1519 winterG3914 inG1519, theG3588 moreG4183 part advised toG1519 putG5087 toG1519 seaG321 fromG2596 thence, ifG1487 byG2596 any meansG5225 theyG2532 couldG1410 reachG2658 PhoenixG5405, andG2532 winterG3914 thereG1564; whichG3588 is a haven ofG2596 CreteG2914, lookingG991 north-east andG2532 south-east.

13AndG1161 whenG1161 theG3588 southG3558 windG3558 blew softly, supposingG1380 thatG1380 theyG1161 had obtained theirG142 purposeG4286, theyG1161 weighedG142 anchorG142 andG1161 sailed alongG3881 CreteG2914, closeG788 inG1161 shore.

14ButG1161 afterG3326 noG3756 longG4183 time thereG1161 beat downG2596 fromG2596 itG846 a tempestuous windG417, whichG3588 is calledG2564 Euraquilo:

15andG2532 whenG2532 theG3588 shipG4143 was caughtG4884, andG2532 couldG1410 notG3361 faceG503 theG3588 windG417, weG2532 gaveG1929 wayG1929 toG1410 itG1161, andG2532 were drivenG5342.

16AndG1161 runningG5295 underG4031 theG3588 lee ofG5100 a smallG3519 islandG3519 calledG2564 CaudaG2802, weG1161 were ableG2480, withG3433 difficultyG3433, toG1096 secure theG3588 boatG4627:

17andG5037 whenG3739 theyG3739 had hoistedG142 itG3779 upG142, theyG3739 usedG5530 helps, under-girding theG3588 shipG4143; andG5037, fearingG5399 lestG3361 theyG3739 should beG3361 cast upon theG3588 SyrtisG4950, theyG3739 lowered theG3588 gear, andG5037 soG3779 were drivenG5342.

18AndG1161 asG1161 weG2249 laboured exceedingly withG4160 theG3588 storm, theG3588 nextG1836 dayG1836 theyG1161 began toG4160 throw theG3588 freight overboard;

19andG2532 theG3588 thirdG5154 day theyG2532 castG4496 out withG2532 theirG2532 own hands theG3588 tackling ofG3588 theG3588 shipG4143.

20AndG1161 whenG1161 neitherG3756 sunG2246 norG3383 starsG798 shone uponG1909 usG1909 forG1909 manyG4183 daysG2250, andG1161 noG3756 smallG3641 tempest lay onG1909 usG1909, allG3956 hopeG1680 thatG3956 weG2249 should beG3956 savedG4982 was nowG1161 takenG4014 awayG4014.

21AndG2532 whenG2532 theyG846 had beenG2532 longG4183 withoutG3361 foodG776, thenG2532 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 forth inG1722 theG3588 midstG3319 ofG575 themG846, andG2532 saidG3004, Sirs, ye shouldG1163 have hearkened unto meG3004, andG2532 notG3361 have setG321 sailG321 fromG575 CreteG2914, andG2532 have gotten thisG3778 injury andG2532 lossG2209.

22AndG2532 nowG3568 IG2532 exhort youG5210 toG2532 beG1510 ofG1537 goodG1510 cheer: forG1063 thereG1510 shallG2532 beG1510 noG3762 lossG580 ofG1537 lifeG5590 amongG1537 youG5210, butG2532 onlyG2532 ofG1537 theG3588 shipG4143.

23ForG1063 thereG1510 stoodG3936 byG2532 meG1473 thisG3778 nightG3571 anG1510 angelG32 ofG2316 theG3588 GodG2316 whoseG3739 IG1473 amG1510, whomG3739 alsoG2532 IG1473 serveG3000,

24sayingG3004, FearG5399 notG3361, PaulG3972; thou must standG3936 beforeG3936 CaesarG2541: andG2532 loG2400, GodG2316 hath grantedG5483 thee allG3956 themG3004 thatG3004 sailG4126 withG3326 thee.

25WhereforeG1352, sirs, beG1510 ofG2316 goodG1510 cheer: forG1063 IG1473 believeG4100 GodG2316, thatG3754 itG3779 shallG2316 beG1510 evenG1063 soG3779 asG2596 itG3779 hath beenG1510 spokenG2980 unto meG1473.

26Howbeit weG2249 must beG1163 cast upon a certainG5100 islandG3520.

27ButG1161 whenG5613 theG3588 fourteenth nightG3571 was comeG1096, asG5613 weG2249 were drivenG1308 toG2596 andG1161 fro inG1722 theG3588 sea ofG5100 Adria, aboutG5613 midnightG3319 theG3588 sailorsG3492 surmised thatG1096 theyG846 were drawingG1096 nearG2596 toG2596 someG5100 countryG5561;

28andG2532 theyG2532 sounded, andG2532 foundG2147 twentyG1501 fathomsG3712: andG2532 afterG1161 a littleG1024 space, theyG2532 sounded againG3825, andG2532 foundG2147 fifteenG1178 fathomsG3712.

29AndG5037 fearingG5399 lestG3361 haply weG2250 should beG1096 castG4496 ashore onG1537 rocky ground, theyG2250 letG1096 go fourG5064 anchorsG45 fromG1537 theG2596 sternG4403, andG5037 wishedG2172 forG1537 theG2596 dayG2250.

30AndG2532 asG5613 theG3588 sailorsG3492 were seekingG2212 toG1519 fleeG5343 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 shipG4143, andG2532 had lowered theG3588 boatG4143 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281, underG1537 colour asG5613 thoughG5613 theyG2532 wouldG3195 layG1614 outG1537 anchorsG45 fromG1537 theG3588 foreship,

31PaulG3972 saidG3004 toG3004 theG3588 centurionG1543 andG2532 toG3004 theG3588 soldiersG4757, ExceptG3361 theseG3778 abideG3306 inG1722 theG3588 shipG4143, ye cannotG3756 beG2532 savedG4982.

32ThenG2532 theG3588 soldiersG4757 cutG609 awayG609 theG3588 ropesG4979 ofG3588 theG3588 boatG4627, andG2532 letG1439 herG846 fall offG609.

33AndG1161 whileG1096 theG3588 dayG2250 was comingG1096 onG1161, PaulG3972 besought themG3739 allG537 toG3004 takeG1096 someG3588 foodG5160, sayingG3004, ThisG3588 dayG2250 is theG3588 fourteenth dayG2250 thatG3739 ye wait andG1161 continueG1096 fasting, having takenG1096 nothingG3367.

34WhereforeG1352 IG3778 beseech youG5210 toG4314 takeG3335 someG3588 foodG5160: forG1063 thisG3778 is forG1063 yourG5212 safety: forG1063 thereG3870 shallG3778 notG3762 a hairG2359 perishG622 fromG575 theG3588 headG2776 ofG575 anyG3762 ofG575 youG5210.

35AndG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 had saidG3004 thisG3778, andG2532 had takenG2983 breadG740, heG2532 gaveG2168 thanksG2168 toG3004 GodG2316 inG2316 theG3956 presenceG1799 ofG2316 allG3956: andG2532 heG2532 brake itG1161, andG2532 beganG757 toG3004 eatG2068.

36ThenG2532 were theyG846 allG3956 ofG3956 good cheer, andG2532 themselvesG846 alsoG2532 tookG4355 foodG5160.

37AndG1161 weG1161 wereG1510 inG1722 allG3956 inG1722 theG3956 shipG4143 twoG1250 hundredG1250 threescore andG1161 sixteen soulsG5590.

38AndG1161 whenG1161 theyG1161 had eatenG2880 enough, theyG1161 lightened theG3588 shipG4143, throwing outG1544 theG3588 wheatG4621 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281.
