<a href="/acts/27-8.htm">8</a>and with difficulty, we sailed past it and came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea. <a href="/acts/27-9.htm">9</a>And when considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the <a href="#fn">[†]</a>Fast was already over, Paul began to advise them, <a href="/acts/27-10.htm">10</a>and said to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” <a href="/acts/27-11.htm">11</a>But the centurion was being more persuaded by the pilot and the <a href="#fn">[†]</a>captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. <a href="/acts/27-12.htm">12</a>And because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to set sail from there, if somehow they could arrive at Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, to spend the winter there. <a href="/acts/27-13.htm">13</a>And when a moderate <a href="#fn">[†]</a>south wind came up, thinking that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along <a href="#fn">[†]</a>the shore of Crete. The Storm at Sea<a href="/acts/27-14.htm">14</a>But before very long there rushed down from <a href="#fn">[†]</a>the land a violent wind, called <a href="#fn">[†]</a>Euraquilo; <a href="/acts/27-15.htm">15</a>and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be carried along. <a href="/acts/27-16.htm">16</a>And running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship’s <a href="#fn">[†]</a>boat under control. <a href="/acts/27-17.htm">17</a>After they had hoisted it up, they used <a href="#fn">[†]</a>supporting cables in undergirding the ship. Fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the <a href="#fn">[†]</a>sea anchor and in this way let themselves be carried along. <a href="/acts/27-18.htm">18</a>And the next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, <a href="#fn">[†]</a>they began to jettison the cargo; <a href="/acts/27-19.htm">19</a>and on the third day they cast the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. <a href="/acts/27-20.htm">20</a>And since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned. <a href="/acts/27-21.htm">21</a>And <a href="#fn">[†]</a>when they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have <a href="#fn">[†]</a>followed my advice to not set sail from Crete and to <a href="#fn">[†]</a>avoid this damage and loss. <a href="/acts/27-22.htm">22</a>And now I advise you to be cheerful, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. <a href="/acts/27-23.htm">23</a>For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, <a href="/acts/27-24.htm">24</a>saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.’ <a href="/acts/27-25.htm">25</a>Therefore, be cheerful, men, for I believe God that <a href="#fn">[†]</a>it will turn out exactly as I have been told. <a href="/acts/27-26.htm">26</a>But we must run aground on some island.” <a href="/acts/27-27.htm">27</a>But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being carried about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to suspect that some land was approaching them. <a href="/acts/27-28.htm">28</a>And when they took soundings, they found it to be <a href="#fn">[†]</a>twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be <a href="#fn">[†]</a>fifteen fathoms. <a href="/acts/27-29.htm">29</a>And fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the <a href="#fn">[†]</a>rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and were praying for daybreak. <a href="/acts/27-30.htm">30</a>But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the ship’s boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow, <a href="/acts/27-31.htm">31</a>Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot <a href="#fn">[†]</a>be saved.” <a href="/acts/27-32.htm">32</a>Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it fall away. <a href="/acts/27-33.htm">33</a>Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing. <a href="/acts/27-34.htm">34</a>Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your <a href="#fn">[†]</a>salvation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.” <a href="/acts/27-35.htm">35</a>And having said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all. And he broke it and began to eat. <a href="/acts/27-36.htm">36</a>And all of them became cheerful and they themselves also took food. <a href="/acts/27-37.htm">37</a>And all of us in the ship were 276 <a href="#fn">[†]</a>persons. <a href="/acts/27-38.htm">38</a>And when they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea. The Shipwreck<a href="/acts/27-39.htm">39</a>Now when day came, they <a href="#fn">[†]</a>could not recognize the land; but they were noticing a bay with a beach, and they were resolving to drive the ship onto it if they could. <a href="/acts/27-40.htm">40</a>And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders. And hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach. <a href="/acts/27-41.htm">41</a>But striking a <a href="#fn">[†]</a>reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves. <a href="/acts/27-42.htm">42</a>Now the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape; <a href="/acts/27-43.htm">43</a>but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should <a href="#fn">[†]</a>jump overboard first and get to land, <a href="/acts/27-44.htm">44</a>and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land.<A name="fn"></a> 1 Normally 600 men (the number varied); or battalion 2 West coast province of Asia Minor 9 Day of Atonement in September or October, which was a dangerous time of year for navigation 11 Or owner 13 Lit south wind having gently blown 13 Lit closer 14 Lit it 14 A northeaster 16 Or skiff: a small boat in tow or carried on board for emergency use, transportation to and from shore, etc. 17 Lit helps 17 Or gear 18 Lit they were doing a throwing out 21 Or when they had lost their appetite for a long time 21 Lit obeyed me 21 Lit gained 25 Lit it will be 28 Approx. 120 ft. or 36 m, a fathom was approx. 6 ft. or 1.8 m 28 Approx. 90 ft. or 27 m 29 Lit rough places 31 Or survive 34 Or survival 37 Lit souls 39 Lit were not recognizing 41 Lit place 43 Lit throw themselves </div> <div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation All rights reserved.
