Now the Scripture passage he was reading was this:

He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb is silent before its shearer,
so He does not open His mouth.

Then we went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For these were his instructions, since he himself was going by land.

grieving most of all over his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.

Finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we boarded and set sail.

After we sighted Cyprus, leaving it on the left, we sailed on to Syria and arrived at Tyre, because the ship was to unload its cargo there.

we said good-bye to one another. Then we boarded the ship, and they returned home.

So when we had boarded a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, intending to sail to ports along the coast of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.

There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

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.”

But the centurion paid attention to the captain and the owner of the ship rather than to what Paul said.

Since the ship was caught and was unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Then, fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the drift-anchor, and in this way they were driven along.

On the third day, they threw the ship’s gear overboard with their own hands.

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

Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow.

Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”

In all there were 276 of us on the ship.

When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the grain overboard into the sea.

When daylight came, they did not recognize the land but sighted a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore if they could.

But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow jammed fast and remained immovable, while the stern began to break up by the pounding of the waves.

The rest were to follow, some on planks and some on debris from the ship. In this way, everyone safely reached the shore.

After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island, with the Twin Brothers as its figurehead.
