Acts 27:1–28:16

^27:1AND when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.

^27:1¶ And when it was determined, that wee should saile into Italy, they deliuered Paul, & certaine other prisoners, vnto one named Iulius, a centurion of Augustus band.

^27:2And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

^27:2And entring into a ship of Adramyttium, wee lanched, meaning to saile by the coasts of Asia, one Aristarchus a Macedonian, of Thessalonica, beeing with vs.

^27:3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

^27:3And the next day wee touched at Sidon: And Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to goe vnto his friends to refresh himselfe.

^27:4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

^27:4And when we had lanched from thence, we sailed vnder Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

^27:5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

^27:5And when we had sailed ouer the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, wee came to Myra a citie of Lysia.

^27:6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

^27:6And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and he put vs therein.

^27:7And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

^27:7And when wee had sailed slowly many dayes, and scarse were come ouer against Gnidus, the wind not suffering vs, wee sailed vnder ^‖Creete, ouer against Salmone,

^27:8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

^27:8And hardly passing it, came vnto a place which is called the Faire hauens, nigh whereunto was the citie of Lasea.

^27:9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

^27:9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the Fast was now alreadie past, Paul admonished them,

^27:10And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

^27:10And said vnto them, Sirs, I perceiue that this voyage will be with ^‖hurt and much damage, not onely of the lading & ship, but also of our liues.

^27:11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

^27:11Neuerthelesse, the Centurion beleeued the master and the owner of the shippe, more then those things which were spoken by Paul.

^27:12And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

^27:12And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, the more part aduised to depart thence also, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an hauen of Creete, and lieth toward the Southwest, and Northwest.

^27:13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

^27:13And when the South wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Creete.

^27:14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

^27:14But not long after, there ^‖arose against it a tempestuous winde, called Euroclydon.

^27:15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

^27:15And when the ship was caught, and could not beare vp into the winde, we let her driue.

^27:16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

^27:16And running vnder a certaine yland, which is called Clauda, wee had much worke to come by the boate:

^27:17Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

^27:17Which when they had taken vp, they vsed helps, vnder-girding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicke-sands, strake saile, and so were driuen.

^27:18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

^27:18And being exceedingly tossed with a tempest the next day, they lightened the ship:

^27:19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

^27:19And the third day we cast out with our owne handes the tackling of the shippe.

^27:20And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

^27:20And when neither Sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay on vs; all hope that wee should be saued, was then taken away.

^27:21But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

^27:21But after long abstinence, Paul stood foorth in the middes of them, and said, Sirs, yee should haue hearkened vnto mee, and not haue loosed from Creete, and to haue gained this harme and losse.

^27:22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.

^27:22And now I exhort you to be of good cheere: for there shall be no losse of any mans life among you, but of the shippe.

^27:23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

^27:23For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serue,

^27:24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

^27:24Saying, Feare not Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and loe, God hath giuen thee all them that saile with thee.

^27:25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

^27:25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheere: for I beleeue God, that it shall be euen as it was tolde me.

^27:26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

^27:26Howbeit, we must be cast vpon a certaine Iland.

^27:27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

^27:27But when the fourteenth night was come, as wee were driuen vp and downe in Adria about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they drew neere to some countrey:

^27:28And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

^27:28And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded againe, and found it fifteene fathoms.

^27:29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

^27:29Then fearing lest we should haue fallen vpon rockes, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished for the day.

^27:30And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

^27:30And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let downe the boat into the sea, vnder colour as though they would haue cast ancres out of the fore-ship,

^27:31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

^27:31Paul said to the Centurion, and to the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saued.

^27:32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

^27:32Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

^27:33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

^27:33And while the day was comming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, hauing taken nothing.

^27:34Wherefore, I pray you to take some meat, for this is for your health: for there shall not an haire fall from the head of any of you.

^27:35And when hee had thus spoken, hee tooke bread, and gaue thankes to God in presence of them all, and when he had broken it, he began to eate.

^27:36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

^27:36Then were they all of good cheere, and they also tooke some meat.

^27:37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

^27:37And we were in all, in the ship, two hundred, threescore and sixteene soules.

^27:38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

^27:38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

^27:39And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

^27:39And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discouered a certaine creek, with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

^27:40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

^27:40And when they had ^‖taken vp the ankers, they committed themselues vnto the sea, & loosed the rudder bands, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and made toward shore.

^27:41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

^27:41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ranne the shippe a ground, and the forepart stucke fast, and remained vnmoueable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waues.

^27:42And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

^27:42And the souldiers counsel was to kil the prisoners, lest any of them should swimme out, and escape.

^27:43But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

^27:43But the Centurion, willing to saue Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that they which could swimme, should cast themselues first into the sea, and get to land:

^27:44And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

^27:44And the rest, some on boords, and some on broken pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they escaped all safe to land.

^28:1AND when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

^28:1¶ And when they were escaped, then they knew that the Iland was called Melita.

^28:2And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

^28:2And the barbarous people shewed vs no little kindnesse: for they kindled a fire, and receiued vs euery one because of the present raine, and because of the cold.

^28:3And when Paul had gathered a bundle of stickes, and layde them on the fire, there came a Uiper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

^28:4And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

^28:4And when the Barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they saide among themselues, No doubt this man is a murtherer, whom though hee hath escaped the Sea, yet Uengeance suffereth not to liue.

^28:5And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

^28:5And hee shooke off the beast into the fire, and felt no harme.

^28:6Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

^28:6Howbeit, they looked when hee should haue swollen, or fallen downe dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harme come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a God.
