1 ¶ But when it was determined that we should sail unto Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustus company.

And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

2 A nd entering into the ship, Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

3 A nd the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

5 A nd when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

6 A nd there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and he put us in it.

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.

7 A nd when we had sailed slowly many days and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not allowing us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone,

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;

8 a nd, passing it with difficulty, came unto a place which is called The Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

9 N ow when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

10 s aying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

11 N evertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

12 ¶ And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, many were in agreement to depart from there also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice and winter there, which is a port of Crete and lies toward Africa and the west.

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.

13 A nd when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, raising sails, they sailed close by Crete.

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

14 B ut not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

15 A nd when the ship was caught up by it and could not resist against the wind, the ship was taken by the wind and drifted.

and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.

16 A nd running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat,

And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

17 W hich when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into Syrtis, struck sail and so were driven.

and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

18 A nd we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the the freight overboard;

19 a nd the third day with our own hands we cast off the dead works of the ship.

and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

20 A nd when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then lost.

And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

21 ¶ Then after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me and not have loosed from Crete to have avoided this harm and loss.

And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

22 A nd now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of any person’s life among you, but only of the ship.

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

23 F or the angel of God stood by me this night, whose I am and whom I serve,

For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

24 s aying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar; and, behold, God has given thee all those that sail with thee.

saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.

25 T herefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.

26 H owever we must be cast upon a certain island.

But we must be cast upon a certain island.

27 A nd when the fourteenth night was come as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:

28 a nd sounded and found it twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again and found it fifteen fathoms.

and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

29 T hen fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for the day.

And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

30 A nd as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,

31 P aul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

32 T hen the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall off.

Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

33 A nd while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have waited and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

34 T herefore I pray you to take some food, for this is for your salvation and health, for there shall not one hair fall from the head of any of you.

Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.

35 A nd when he had thus spoken, he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.

36 T hen they were all of good cheer, and they also took some food.

Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.

37 A nd we were in all, in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six souls.

And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

38 A nd when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and cast out the grain into the sea.

And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

39 A nd when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they discovered a certain gulf with a shore, into which they decided, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

40 A nd when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea and loosed the rudder bands and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind and made toward shore.

And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

41 B ut falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

42 A nd the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out and escape.

And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

43 B ut the centurion, desiring to save Paul, frustrated this counsel and commanded that those who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and get to land;

But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;

44 a nd the rest, some on boards and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass that they were all saved by making it to land.

and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
