9So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,
10And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.
11Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.
12And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.
13And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
14But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
15And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
16And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.
17Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.
18The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.
19And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.
20And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.
21But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse.
22But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shalbe no losse of any mans life among you, saue of the ship onely.
23For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue,
24Saying, Feare not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath giuen vnto thee freely all that sayle with thee.
25Wherefore, sirs, be of good courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me.
26Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.
