Deeds (Act) of Apostles 27:4-30

⁴And when we removed from thence, we under-sailed to Cyprus, for that winds were contrary.

⁵And we sailed in the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and came to Lystra, that is Lycia.

⁶And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sailing into Italy, and putted us over into it.

⁷And when in many days we sailed slowly, and scarcely came against Cnidus, for the wind hindered us, we sailed to Crete, beside Salmone.

⁸And scarcely we sailed beside, and came into a place, that is called of good haven, to whom the city Lasea was nigh.

⁹And when much time was passed, and when sailing then was not secure, for that fasting was passed, Paul comforted them,

¹⁰and said to them, Men, I see that sailing beginneth to be with wrong and much harm, not only of the charge, and of the ship, but also of our lives.

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.

²⁸And they cast or sent down a plummet, and found twenty fathoms of deepness. And after a little they were departed from thence, and found fifteen fathoms.

²⁹And they dreaded, lest we should have fallen into sharp places; and from the last part of the ship they sent four anchors, and desired that the day had become or were made.

³⁰And when the shipmen sought to flee from the ship, when they had sent a little boat into the sea, under colour as they should begin to stretch forth the anchors from the former part of the ship,
