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 our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,

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 having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

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.

on the next also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit, having gone on unto friends, to receive care.

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

And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being 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 sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria 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 having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

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 having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under 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 hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city 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 being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing,

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 to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives -- the voyage is about to be;'

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 to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things 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 the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, to winter, a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

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

and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

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

and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is 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 not being able to bear up against the wind, having given up, we were borne on,

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

and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become 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 taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast -- so were borne on.

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

And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding they were making a clearing,

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

and on the third with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

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 more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

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 there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved, indeed, O men -- having hearkened to me -- not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;

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 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 a messenger of God -- whose I am, and whom 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, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing 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 cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,

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

and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.'

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 came -- we being borne up and down in the Adria -- toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to 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 they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having 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 on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to 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,

And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,

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, `If these do not remain in the ship -- ye are not able to be saved;'

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

then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to 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 till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye 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 call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;'

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 having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken, he began to eat;

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

and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,

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

(and we were -- all the souls in the ship -- two hundred, seventy and six),

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

and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth 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 the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,

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 the anchors having taken up, they were committing to the sea, at the same time -- having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind -- they were making for the shore,

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 having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken 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 that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should 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, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first -- to get unto 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 indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
