1 A nd 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,

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 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,

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

And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.

4 A nd thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

5 a nd having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria 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 having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

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

7 a nd having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering 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 hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city Lasaea.

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

9 A nd much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing,

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 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;'

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 b ut the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things 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 a nd 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,

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 a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained purpose, having lifted anchor, 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 a nd not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

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

15 a nd the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given up, we were borne on,

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

16 a nd having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of 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 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.

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 tempest-tossed, the succeeding they were making a clearing,

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

19 a nd on the third with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

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

20 a nd 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.

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 A nd 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;

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 life among you -- but 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 there stood by me this night a messenger of God -- 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, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

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

25 w herefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to 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 a nd on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.'

But we must be cast upon a certain island.

27 A nd 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;

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 having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,

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

29 a nd fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.

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 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,

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, `If these do not remain in the ship -- ye are not able to 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 did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.

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

33 A nd 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,

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 w herefore 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;'

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 having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken, 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 a nd all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,

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

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

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

38 a nd having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.

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

39 A nd 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,

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 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,

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 a nd 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.

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 that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,

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

43 b ut 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,

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 indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the 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.
