Since I was at a loss in a dispute over such things, I asked him if he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there concerning these matters.

and told them, “Men, I can see that this voyage is headed toward damage and heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives.”

Since many were going without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “You men should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete and sustain this damage and loss.

Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship.

Therefore I urge you to take some food. For this has to do with your survival, since none of you will lose a hair from your head.”
