Deeds (Act) of Apostles 27:8-22

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.
