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.

But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.

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 going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, 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.

And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself.

4 A nd when we had launched from there, we sailed under Cyprus because the winds were contrary.

And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

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

And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in 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 having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.

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 sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of 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 coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was city of Lasaea.

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 much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled 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.

saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo 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 believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said 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 the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east 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 south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.

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

But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.

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 the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven.

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

But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of 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.

which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.

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

But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,

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

and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.

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 neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was 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 a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster 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 courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of of you, only of the ship.

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

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

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 behold, God has granted to thee all those 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 be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

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

But we must be cast ashore on 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

And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them,

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 having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they 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 we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.

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,

But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,

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 the soldiers, Unless 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.

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 it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.

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 exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.

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, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.

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

And all taking courage, themselves also took food.

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

And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.

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

And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting 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 did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;

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, having cast off the anchors, they left in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

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.

And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.

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

And counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off 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, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first, to get out on 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 boards, some on some of the things from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
