James 3:4–9

²⁴And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

^24*And behold, there arose a great tempest in the Sea, insomuch that the ship was couered with the waues: but he was asleepe.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

²⁶Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

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;

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

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

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,

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

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

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.

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

³⁵And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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,

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

²⁶They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

^25†For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy winde: which lifteth vp the waues thereof.

²⁶They mount vp to the heauen: they goe downe againe to the depthes: their soule is melted because of trouble.
