Then fearing, lest they should have fallen on some rock, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

And the others he commanded to go, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they came all safe to land.

Then the soldiers cut off the rope of the boat, and let it fall away.

And in the meantime, betwixt that and day, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, "This is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting receiving nothing at all,

As the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under a colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship:

And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds and hoisted up the main sail to the wind and drew to land.

And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and cast out the wheat into the sea.

Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took meat.

The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners: lest any of them, when he had swum out, should flee away.

When it was concluded that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, an under-captain of Caesar's soldiers.

Paul said unto the under-captain and the soldiers, "Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be safe."

and they sounded, and found it twenty fathoms; And when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

And we entered into a ship of Adramyttium, and loosed from land, appointed to sail by the coasts of Asia: one Aristarchus out of Macedonia, of the country of Thessalonica, being with us.

For there stood by me this night the angel of God: whose I am, and whom I serve:

When much time was spent and sailing was now jeopardous, because also that we had overlong fasted, Paul put them in remembrance,

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were carried in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that there appeared some country unto them,

And when he had thus spoken he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eat.

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, many took counsel to depart thence, if by any means they might attain to Phoenix and there to winter, which is a haven of Crete, and serveth to the southwest, and northwest wind.

Then after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them and said, "Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, neither to have brought unto us this harm and loss.

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you: save of the ship only.

When the south wind blew, they supposing to obtain their purpose loosed unto Assos, and sailed past all Crete.

wherefore I pray you to take meat: for this no doubt is for your health, for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you."

and when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, because the wind withstood us, we sailed hard by the coast of Crete, over against Salmone,

which they took up, and used help undergirding the ship, fearing lest we should have fallen into Syrtis, and we let down a vessel and so were carried.

and with much work sailed beyond it, and came unto a place called Good Port, nigh whereunto was a city called Lasea.

But anon after there arose, against their purpose, a flaw of wind out of the northeast.

When at the last neither sun nor star in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay upon us, all hope that we should be saved, was then taken away.

When it was day they knew not the land, but they spied a certain haven with a bank, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

And the next day came we to Sidon, and Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends, and to refresh himself.

Then sailed we over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and came to Myra a city in Lycia.

But they chanced on a place, which had the sea on both the sides, and thrust in the ship. And the fore part stuck fast, and moved not, but the hinder part brake with the violence of the waves.

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God that so it shall be even as it was told me;

and said unto them, "Sirs I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship only: but also of our lives."

saying, 'Fear not Paul, for thou must be brought before Caesar. And lo, God hath given unto thee all that sail with thee.'

And we came unto an isle named Cauda; And had much work to come by a boat,

We were all together in the ship, two hundred and three score and sixteen souls.

Neverthelater, the under-captain believed the governor, and the master, better than those things which were spoken of Paul.

And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the wind, we let her go and drave with the weather.

And there the under-captain found a ship of Alexandria ready to sail into Italy, and put us therein,

And from thence launched we and sailed hard by Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship,

But the under-captain, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that they that could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and escape to land.

Howbeit, we must be cast into a certain island."

and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
