Deeds (Act) of Apostles 27:11-27

¹¹But the centurion believed more to the governor, and to the lord of the ship, than to these things that were said of Paul.

¹²And when the haven was not able for to dwell in winter, full many ordained counsel to sail from thence, if on or in any manner they might come to Phoenix, to dwell in winter at the haven of Crete, which behold-eth to Africa, that is, southwest, and to Corum, that is, northwest.

¹³And when the south blew, they guessed them to hold purpose; and when they had removed or taken up from Assos, they sailed to Crete.

¹⁴And not after much time, the wind Tifonyk, that is called northeast, or wind of tempest, was against it.

¹⁵And when the ship was ravished, and might not endeavour against or into the wind, when the ship was given to the blowings of the wind, we were borne

¹⁶with course into an isle, that is called Cauda; and scarcely we might get a little boat.

¹⁷And when this was taken up, they used helps, girding together the ship; and dreaded, lest they should fall into sandy places. And when the vessel was under-set, so they were borne.

¹⁸And for we were thrown with strong tempest, in the day pursuing they made casting out.

¹⁹And the third day with their hands they cast away the instruments of the ship.

²⁰And when neither the sun neither the stars were seen by many days, and tempest not a little nighed, now all the hope of our health was done away.

²¹And when much fasting had been, then Paul stood in the middle of them, and said, A! or O! men, it behooved, when ye heard me, not to have taken away the ship from Crete, and get this wrong and casting out.

²²And now I counsel you to be of good comfort or of good heart, for loss of no person of you shall be, except of the ship.

²³For an angel of God, whose I am, and to whom I serve, stood nigh to me in this night,

²⁴and said, Paul, dread thou not; it behooveth thee to stand before the emperor or Caesar. And lo! God hath given to thee all that be in the ship with thee.

²⁵For which thing, ye men, be of good comfort or of good heart; for I believe to my God, that so it shall be, as it is said to me.

²⁶And it behooveth us to come into some isle.

²⁷But afterward that in the fourteen day the night came on us sailing in the stony sea, about midnight the shipmen supposed some country to appear to them.
