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.

Selected passage

27:4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under 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.

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

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

27:10And 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.

27:11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

27:18And we 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.

27:20And 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.

27:21But 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.

27:22And 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.

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

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

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

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