Acts 27:14-44

But, not long after, there beat down upon it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon. And, the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, yielding to it, we were borne along. And, running under a certain small island, called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to secure the boat; read more.
which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, lowering the sail, so they were borne along. And, we being violently tempest-tossed, the next day they were making an overthrow of the cargo; and, on the third day, with their own hands, they cast out the rigging of the ship. And, when neither sun nor stars appeared to us for many days, and no small tempest was pressing upon us, henceforth all hope that we should be saved was being utterly taken away. And, after long abstinence from food, then Paul, standing up in the midst of them, said, "Ye ought, indeed, O men, hearkening to me, not to have set sail from Crete, and to have incurred this violence and loss. And, as to the present things, I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of soul among you, but only of the ship. For there stood by me this night an angel of the God Whose I am, and Whom I serve, saying, 'Fear not, Paul; it is necessary that you should stand before Caesar, and, behold, God has granted to you as a favor all those sailing with you.' Wherefore, men, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be even so as it has been told me. But we must be cast out on a certain island." And, when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven along the Adria, about midnight the sailors were surmising that some country was approaching them; and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms. And, fearing lest perhaps we might wreck against rocky places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were praying that day would come. And, when the sailors were seeking to escape out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though they were about to cast anchors out of the prow, Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off. And, when the day was about to dawn, Paul was beseeching them all to take food, saying, "To-day is the fourteenth day ye, waiting, continue fasting, having taken nothing; wherefore, I beseech you to partake of food; for this makes the beginning of your deliverance; for a hair from the head of no one of you shall perish." And, having said these things, and taken bread, he gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and, breaking it, he began to eat. And, all having become of good cheer, they themselves also partook of food. And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls. And, having been satisfied with food, they were lightening the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea. And, when it was day, they were not recognizing the land; but they were observing a certain bay, having a beach, into which they purposed, if they might be able, to thrust the ship. And, casting off the anchors, they let them go into the sea; at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders, and hoisting the fore-sail to the breeze, they were holding their course towards the beach. But, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow, sticking fast, remained immovable, but the stern was being broken to pieces by the violence of the waves. Now it was the plan of the soldiers to kill the prisoners, lest any one, swimming out, might escape. But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and he commanded that those able to swim, throwing themselves first into the sea, should get out upon the land; and the rest??ome, indeed, on planks, and others on some of the things from the Ship. And so it came to pass that all escaped safe to land.
