 27:1 ¶ And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

 27:1 ¶ Andº whenº it was determinedººº that weº should sailºº intoº Italy,º they deliveredººº Paulº andº certainº otherº prisonersº unto [one] namedº Julius,º a centurionº of Augustus'º band.º

 27:2 And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

 27:2 Andº enteringºº intoº a shipº of Adramyttium,º we launched,ºº meaningºº to sailºº byº theº coastsº ofº Asia;º [one] Aristarchus,º a Macedonianº of Thessalonica,º beingºº withº us.º

 27:3 And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.

 27:3 Andº theº nextº [day] we touchedºº atº Sidon.º Andº Juliusº courteouslyº entreatedºº Paul,º and gave [him] libertyºº to goºº untoº his friendsº to refresh himself.ººº

 27:4 And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

 27:4 Andºº when we had launchedºº from thence,ºº we sailed underºº Cyprus,º becauseº theº windsº wereºº contrary.º

 27:5 And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.

 27:5 Andº when we had sailed overºº theº seaº ofº Ciliciaº andº Pamphylia,º we cameºº toº Myra,º [a city] of Lycia.º

 27:6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.

 27:6 And thereº theº centurionº foundºº a shipº of Alexandriaº sailingºº intoº Italy;º and he putºº usº therein.ºº

 27:7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;

 27:7 Andº when we had sailed slowlyººº manyº days,º andº scarceº were comeºº over againstº Cnidus,º theº windº notº sufferingºº us,º we sailed underºº Crete,º over againstº Salmone;º

 27:8 and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

 27:8 And,º hardlyº passingºº it,º cameºº untoº aº placeº which is calledºº The fairº havens;ºº nighº whereuntoº wasºº the cityº [of] Lasea.º

 27:9 And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

 27:9 Nowº when muchº timeº was spent,ºº andº when sailingº wasºº nowº dangerous,º becauseºº theº fastº wasºº nowº alreadyº past,ººº Paulº admonishedºº [them],

 27:10 and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

 27:10 And saidºº unto them,º Sirs,º I perceiveºº thatº this voyageº willº beºººº withº hurtº andº muchº damage,º notº onlyº of theº ladingº andº ship,º butº alsoº of ourº lives.º

 27:11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

 27:11 Neverthelessº theº centurionº believedºº theº masterº andº theº owner of the ship,º moreº thanº those things which were spokenºº byº Paul.º

 27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there; which is] a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.

 27:12 Andº becauseºº theº havenº wasºº not commodiousº toº winter in,º theº more partº advisedººº to departºº thence also,º ifº by any meansºº they mightºº attainºº toº Phenice,º [and there] to winter;ºº [which is] an havenº of Crete,º and liethºº towardº the south westº andºº north west.º

 27:13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

 27:13 Andº when the south windº blew softly,ºº supposingºº that they had obtainedºº [their] purpose,º loosingººº [thence], they sailedºº close byºº Crete.º

 27:14 But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

 27:14 Butº notº longº afterº there aroseºº againstº itº a tempestuousº wind,º calledºº Euroclydon.º

 27:15 and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.

 27:15 Andº when theº shipº was caught,ºº andº couldºº notº bear upº intoºº theº wind,º we let [her] drive.ºººº

 27:16 And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

 27:16 Andº running underºº a certainº islandº which is calledºº Clauda,º we hadºº muchº workººº to come byººº theº boat:º

 27:17 and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

 27:17 Whichº when they had taken up,ºº they usedººº helps,º undergirdingºº theº ship;º and,º fearingºº lestº they should fallºº intoº theº quicksands,º strakeºº sail,ºº and soº were driven.ºº

 27:18 And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the [the freight] overboard;

 27:18 Andº weº being exceedinglyº tossed with a tempest,ºº theº nextº [day] they lightened the ship;ººº

 27:19 and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

 27:19 Andº theº thirdº [day] we cast outºº with our own handsº theº tacklingº of theº ship.º

 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

 27:20 Andº when neitherº sunº norº starsº inº manyº daysº appeared,ºº andº noº smallº tempestº lay onºº [us], allº hopeº that weº should be savedºº wasºº thenº taken away.ºº

 27:21 And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

 27:21 Butº afterºº longº abstinenceºº Paulº stood forthºº inº the midstº of them,ºº and said,ººº Sirs,ºº ye shouldººº haveº hearkenedºº unto me,º and notº have loosedºº fromº Crete,º andº to have gainedºº thisº harmº andº loss.º

 27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.

 27:22 Andº nowº I exhortºº youº to be of good cheer:ºº forº there shall beºº noº lossº of [any man's] lifeº amongº you,º butº of theº ship.º

 27:23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

 27:23 Forº there stood byºº meº thisº nightº the angelº of God,º whoseº I am,ºº andº whomº I serve,ºº

 27:24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.

 27:24 Saying,ºº Fearººº not,º Paul;º thouº mustºº be brought beforeºº Caesar:º and,º lo,ºº Godº hath givenºº theeº allº them that sailºº withº thee.º

 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.

 27:25 Wherefore,º sirs,º be of good cheer:ºº forº I believeºº God,º thatº itº shall beºº evenºº asººº it was toldºº me.º

 27:26 But we must be cast upon a certain island.

 27:26 Howbeitº weº mustºº be castºº uponº a certainº island.º

 27:27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:

 27:27 Butº whenº the fourteenthº nightº was come,ºº as weº were driven up and downºº inº Adria,º aboutº midnightºº theº shipmenº deemedºº that theyºº drew nearºº to someº country;º

 27:28 and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

 27:28 Andº sounded,ºº and foundºº [it] twentyº fathoms:º andº when they had goneºº a little further,ºº they soundedºº again,º andº foundºº [it] fifteenº fathoms.º

 27:29 And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

 27:29 Thenº fearingºº lestºº we should have fallenººº uponº rocks,ºº they castºº fourº anchorsº outº ofº the stern,º and wishedºººº for the day.ºº

 27:30 And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,

 27:30 Andº as theº shipmenº were aboutºº to fleeºº out ofº theº ship,º whenº they had let downºº theº boatº intoº theº sea,º under colourº as thoughº they wouldºº have castºº anchorsº out ofº the foreship,º

 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

 27:31 Paulº saidºº to theº centurionº andº to theº soldiers,º Exceptº theseº abideºº inº theº ship,º yeº cannotººº be saved.ºº

 27:32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

 27:32 Thenº theº soldiersº cut offºº theº ropesº of theº boat,º andº letºº herº fall off.ºº

 27:33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

 27:33 Andº whileºº the dayº wasº comingºº on,ººº Paulº besoughtºº [them] allº to takeºº meat,º saying,ºº This dayº is the fourteenthº dayº that ye have tarriedººº and continuedºº fasting,º having takenººº nothing.º

 27:34 Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.

 27:34 Whereforeº I prayºº youº to takeºº [some] meat:º forº thisº isºº forº yourº health:º forº there shallºº notºº an hairº fallºº fromº theº headº of anyº of you.º

 27:35 And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.

 27:35 Andº when he had thusº spoken,ººº heº tookºº bread,º and gave thanksºº to Godº in presenceº of them all:º andº when he had brokenºº [it], he beganºº to eat.ºº

 27:36 Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.

 27:36 Thenº wereºº theyººº allº of good cheer,º and theyººº alsoº tookºº [some] meat.º

 27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

 27:37 Andº we wereºº in allº inº theº shipº two hundredº threescoreº and sixteenººº souls.º

 27:38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

 27:38 Andº when they had eatenº enough,ººº they lightenedºº theº ship,º and cast outºº theº wheatº intoº theº sea.º

 27:39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

 27:39 Andº whenº it wasºº day,º they knewºº notº theº land:º butº they discoveredºº a certainº creekº withºº a shore,º intoº the whichº they were minded,ºº ifº it were possible,ºº to thrust inºº theº ship.º

 27:40 And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

 27:40 Andº when they had taken upººº theº anchors,º they committedºº [themselves] untoº theº sea,º andº loosedºº theº rudderº bands,º andº hoised upºº theº mainsailº to theº wind,ºº and madeºº towardº shore.º

 27:41 But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].

 27:41 Andº fallingºº intoº a placeº where two seas met,º they ranºº the shipº aground;ºººº andº theº forepartºº stuck fast,ºº and remainedºº unmoveable,º butº theº hinder partº was brokenºº withº theº violenceº of theº waves.º

 27:42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.

 27:42 Andº theº soldiers'º counselº wasºº toº killºº theº prisoners,º lestº any of themºº should swim out,ºº and escape.ºº

 27:43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;

 27:43 Butº theº centurion,º willingºº to saveºº Paul,º keptºº themº from [their] purpose;º andº commandedºº that they which couldºº swimºº should castºº [themselves] firstº [into the sea], and getºº toº land:º

 27:44 and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.

 27:44 Andº theº rest,º someºº onº boards,º andº someºº onº [broken pieces]º ofº theº ship.ºº Andº soº it came to pass,ºº that they escapedºº allº safeººº toº land.º
