And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.

But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

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

After they had gone a long time without food [because of seasickness and stress], Paul stood up before them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice and should not have set sail from Crete, and brought on this damage and loss.

For an angel of the God whose I am, and whom I serve, came to me this night

And when the fourteenth night came -- we being borne up and down in the Adria -- toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;
