Acts 27

1But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.

1And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,

2And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

2and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

3And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself.

3on the next <FI>day<Fi> also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit <FI>him<Fi> , having gone on unto friends, to receive <FI>their<Fi> care.

4And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

4And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

5And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia:

5and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,

6and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.

6and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

7And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;

7and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

8and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was [the] city of Lasaea.

8and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city <FI>of<Fi> Lasaea.

9And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,

9And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous--because of the fast also being already past--Paul was admonishing,

10saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.

10saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives--the voyage is about to be;'

11But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.

11but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

12And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.

12and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, <FI>there<Fi> to winter, <FI>which is<Fi> a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

13And [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.

13and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained <FI>their<Fi> purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

14But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.

14and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

15And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven [before it].

15and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given <FI>her<Fi> up, we were borne on,

16But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;

16and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,

17which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.

17which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast--so were borne on.

18But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,

18And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding <FI>day<Fi> they were making a clearing,

19and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.

19and on the third <FI>day<Fi> with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

20And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.

20and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

21And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.

21And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved <FI>you<Fi> , indeed, O men--having hearkened to me--not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;

22And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.

22and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you--but of the ship;

23For an angel of theGod, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,

23for there stood by me this night a messenger of God--whose I am, and whom I serve--

24saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold,God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.

24saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

25Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believeGod that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

25wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,

26But we must be cast ashore on a certain island.

26and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.'

27And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them,

27And when the fourteenth night came--we being borne up and down in the Adria--toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;

28and having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found fifteen fathoms;

28and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,

29and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.

29and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.

30But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,

30And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as <FI>if<Fi> out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,

31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.

31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship--ye are not able to be saved;'

32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.

32then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.

33And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.

33And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing,

34Wherefore I exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.

34wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;'

35And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks toGod before all, and having broken it began to eat.

35and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken <FI>it<Fi> , he began to eat;

36And all taking courage, themselves also took food.

36and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,

37And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.

37(and we were--all the souls in the ship--two hundred, seventy and six),

38And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.

38and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.

39And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;

39And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,

40and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

40and the anchors having taken up, they were committing <FI>it<Fi> to the sea, at the same time--having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind--they were making for the shore,

41And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.

41and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves.

42And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.

42And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,

43But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;

43but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first--to get unto the land,

44and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.

44and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
