21And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, 'It behoved you, indeed, O men — having hearkened to me — not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
22and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you — but of the ship;
23for there stood by me this night a messenger of God — whose I am, and whom I serve —
24saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;
25wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,
26and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.'
