Acts 27:7-20

⁷And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:

⁸And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.

⁹And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,

¹⁰Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.

¹²And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.

¹³And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.

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

¹⁵And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.

¹⁶And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.

¹⁷Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.

¹⁸And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.

¹⁹And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
