Thematic Bible



Cretes, and Arabians, we hear them all proclaiming in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

one of their own prophets said, "the Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies."


For several days we made very little sail, and having scarce got sight of Cnidus, the wind being against us, we bore away between Salmone and Crete:

for as that haven could not cover us from the storm, most were of opinion to bear away, and try to put in at Phenice, where we could ride safe, the port lying by south-west, and north-west. a gentle breeze at south, secure of gaining their point, they weigh'd anchor, and coasted close under Crete:

and our spirits droop with fasting: when Paul presented himself, and said, "well, my friends, it had been, if I could have prevail'd upon you, to have sav'd your selves all this perplexity and loss by staying at Crete.

for as that haven could not cover us from the storm, most were of opinion to bear away, and try to put in at Phenice, where we could ride safe, the port lying by south-west, and north-west. a gentle breeze at south, secure of gaining their point, they weigh'd anchor, and coasted close under Crete:

and our spirits droop with fasting: when Paul presented himself, and said, "well, my friends, it had been, if I could have prevail'd upon you, to have sav'd your selves all this perplexity and loss by staying at Crete.
