Mariners (sailors) » Perils of
They that go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their business in great waters, these men see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For at his word, the stormy wind ariseth, and lifteth up the waves thereof. read more.
They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep; their soul melteth away in the trouble. They reel to and fro, they stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. So when they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, he delivereth them out of their distress. He maketh the storm to cease, so that the waves are still. Then are they glad, because they are at rest; and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

And the mariners were afraid and cried every man unto his god, and cast out the goods that were in the ship in to the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah gat him under the hatches and laid him down and slumbered.
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. The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship, and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. read more.
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. 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. For there stood by me this night the angel of God: whose I am, and whom I serve: saying, 'Fear not Paul, for thou must be brought before Caesar. And lo, God hath given unto thee all that sail with thee.' Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God that so it shall be even as it was told me; Howbeit, we must be cast into a certain island." 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 they sounded, and found it twenty fathoms; And when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms. Then fearing, lest they should have fallen on some rock, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 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: Paul said unto the under-captain and the soldiers, "Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be safe." 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, 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 he had thus spoken he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eat. Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took meat. We were all together in the ship, two hundred and three score and sixteen souls. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and cast out the wheat into the sea. 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 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. 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. The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners: lest any of them, when he had swum out, should flee away. 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. 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.

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. Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took meat. We were all together in the ship, two hundred and three score and sixteen souls. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and cast out the wheat into the sea. 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.

But anon after there arose, against their purpose, a flaw of wind out of the northeast. And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the wind, we let her go and drave with the weather. And we came unto an isle named Cauda; And had much work to come by a boat, read more.
