Acts 27:6-28

6And thereG2546 the centurionG1543 foundG2147 a shipG4143 of AlexandriaG222 sailingG4126 intoG1519 ItalyG2482; and he putG1688 usG2248 onG1519 boardG846. 7AndG1161 when we had sailed slowlyG1020G1722 manyG2425 daysG2250, andG2532 scarceG3433 had comeG1096 offG2596 CnidusG2834, the windG417 didG4330 notG3361 permitG4330 usG2248, we sailed underG5284 CreteG2914, offG2596 SalmoneG4534;1 8AndG5037, scarcelyG3433 passingG3881 itG846, cameG2064 toG1519 aG5100 placeG5117 which is calledG2564 The fairG2570 havensG2568G3040; nearG1451 whichG3739 wasG2258 the cityG4172 of LaseaG2996. 9NowG1161 when muchG2425 timeG5550 was spentG1230, andG2532 when sailingG4144 wasG5607 nowG2235 dangerousG2000, becauseG1223 the fastG3521 wasG3928 nowG2532 alreadyG2235 pastG3928, PaulG3972 admonishedG3867 them,2 10And saidG3004 to themG846, SirsG435, I perceiveG2334 thatG3754 this voyageG4144 will beG3195G1510 withG3326 harmG5196 andG2532 muchG4183 damageG2209, notG3756 onlyG3440 of the cargoG5414 andG2532 shipG4143, butG235 alsoG2532 of ourG2257 livesG5590.3 11NeverthelessG1161 the centurionG1543 believedG3982 the masterG2942 andG2532 the owner of the shipG3490, moreG3123 thanG2228 the things which were spokenG3004 byG5259 PaulG3972.

12AndG1161 becauseG5225 the havenG3040 wasG5225 not suitableG428 toG4314 winter inG3915, the greater partG4119 advisedG1012G5087 to departG321 from there alsoG2547, ifG1513 by any meansG4458 they mightG1410 attainG2658 toG1519 PheniceG5405, and there to winterG3914; which is an havenG3040 of CreteG2914, and liethG991 towardG2596 the south westG3047 andG2532G2596 north westG5566. 13AndG1161 when the south windG3558 blew softlyG5285, supposingG1380 that they had obtainedG2902 their purposeG4286, loosingG142 from there, they sailedG3881 close byG788 CreteG2914. 14ButG1161 notG3756 longG4183 afterG3326 there aroseG906 againstG2596 itG846 a tempestuousG5189 windG417, calledG2564 EuroclydonG2148.4 15AndG1161 when the shipG4143 was caughtG4884, andG2532 couldG1410 notG3361 bear up intoG503 the windG417, we let her driveG1929G5342. 16AndG1161 running underG5295 a certainG5100 isleG3519 which is calledG2564 ClaudaG2802, we hadG2480 muchG3433 workG2480 to secureG4031G1096 the boatG4627: 17WhichG3739 when they had taken it upG142, they usedG5530 cablesG996, undergirdingG5269 the shipG4143; andG5037, fearingG5399 lestG3361 they should fallG1601 intoG1519 the quicksandsG4950, struckG5465 sailG4632, and soG3779 were drivenG5342. 18AndG1161 weG2257 being exceedinglyG4971 tossed with a tempestG5492, the nextG1836 day they lightened the shipG1546G4160; 19AndG2532 the thirdG5154 day we cast outG4496 with our own handsG849 the tacklingG4631 of the shipG4143. 20AndG1161 when neitherG3383 sunG2246 norG3383 starsG798 inG1909 manyG4119 daysG2250 appearedG2014, andG5037 noG3756 smallG3641 tempestG5494 lay onG1945 us, allG3956 hopeG1680 that weG2248 should be savedG4982 wasG4014 thenG3063 taken awayG4014.

21ButG1161 afterG5225 being longG4183 without foodG776G5119 PaulG3972 stood forthG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846, and saidG2036, SirsG5599G435, ye shouldG1163G3303 have hearkenedG3980 to meG3427, and notG3361 have loosedG321 fromG575 CreteG2914, andG5037 to have gainedG2770 thisG5026 harmG5196 andG2532 lossG2209. 22AndG2532 nowG3569 I exhortG3867 youG5209 to be of good cheerG2114: forG1063 there shall beG2071 noG3762 lossG580 of lifeG5590 amongG1537 youG5216, butG4133 of the shipG4143. 23ForG1063 there stood byG3936 meG3427 thisG5026 nightG3571 the angelG32 of GodG2316, whoseG3739 I amG1510, andG2532 whomG3739 I serveG3000, 24SayingG3004, FearG5399 notG3361, PaulG3972; thouG4571 mustG1163 be brought beforeG3936 CaesarG2541: andG2532, loG2400, GodG2316 hath givenG5483 theeG4671 allG3956 them that sailG4126 withG3326 theeG4675. 25ThereforeG1352, sirsG435, be of good cheerG2114: forG1063 I believeG4100 GodG2316, thatG3754 itG3779 shall beG2071 evenG2596G3739 asG5158 it was toldG2980 to meG3427. 26ButG1161 weG2248 mustG1163 be castG1601 uponG1519 a certainG5100 isleG3520. 27ButG1161 whenG5613 the fourteenthG5065 nightG3571 was comeG1096, as weG2257 were driven up and downG1308 inG1722 AdriaG99, aboutG2596 midnightG3319G3571 the shipmenG3492 thoughtG5282 that theyG846 drew nearG4317 to 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.
