Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And the next <i>day</i> we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave <i>him</i> liberty to go to his friends and receive care. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under <i>the shelter of</i> Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, <i>a city</i> of Lycia. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under <i>the shelter of</i> Crete off Salmone. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city <i>of</i> Lasea.</span></p> <h3> Paul’s Warning Ignored</span></h3><p><span class="text Acts-27-9"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[a]</a></span>the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, <i>and</i> winter <i>there.</i></span></p> <h3> In the Tempest</span></h3><p><span class="text Acts-27-13"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained <i>their</i> desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[b]</a></span>Euroclydon. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let <i>her</i> <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[c]</a></span>drive. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And running under <i>the shelter of</i> an island called <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[d]</a></span>Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[e]</a></span>Syrtis <i>Sands,</i> they struck sail and so were driven. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next <i>day</i> they lightened the ship. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>On the third <i>day</i> we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on <i>us,</i> all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And now I urge you to take <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[f]</a></span>heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>However, we must run aground on a certain island.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic <i>Sea,</i> about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And they took soundings and found <i>it</i> to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found <i>it</i> to be fifteen fathoms. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[g]</a></span>prayed for day to come. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored <i>them</i> all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken <i>it</i> he began to eat. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.</span></p> <h3> Shipwrecked on Malta</span></h3><p><span class="text Acts-27-39"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>And they <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[h]</a></span>let go the anchors and left <i>them</i> in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>But striking <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[i]</a></span>a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from <i>their</i> purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump <i>overboard</i> first and get to land, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/27-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>and the rest, some on boards and some on <i>parts</i> of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.</span></p> <A name="footnotes"></a><div class="footnotes"><h4>Footnotes:</h4><ol><li id="fen-NKJV-27865a"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:9">Acts 27:9</span> <span class='footnote-text'>The Day of Atonement, late September or early October</span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27870b"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:14">Acts 27:14</span> <span class='footnote-text'>A southeast wind that stirs up broad waves; NU <i>Euraquilon,</i> a northeaster</span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27871c"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:15">Acts 27:15</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>be driven</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27872d"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:16">Acts 27:16</span> <span class='footnote-text'>NU <i>Cauda</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27873e"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:17">Acts 27:17</span> <span class='footnote-text'>M <i>Syrtes</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27878f"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:22">Acts 27:22</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>courage</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27885g"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:29">Acts 27:29</span> <span class='footnote-text'>Or <i>wished</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27896h"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:40">Acts 27:40</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>cast off</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27897i"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Acts 27:41">Acts 27:41</span> <span class='footnote-text'>A reef</span></li></ol></div> </span></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">The Holy Bible, New King James Version, Copyright © 1982 Thomas Nelson.
