Acts - Chapter: 27


27:1	And when it was determined, that wee should saile into Italy, they deliuered Paul, & certaine other prisoners, vnto one named Iulius, a centurion of Augustus band.
27:2	And entring into a ship of Adramyttium, wee lanched, meaning to saile by the coasts of Asia, one Aristarchus a Macedonian, of Thessalonica, beeing with vs.
27:3	And the next day wee touched at Sidon: And Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to goe vnto his friends to refresh himselfe.
27:4	And when we had lanched from thence, we sailed vnder Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
27:5	And when we had sailed ouer the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, wee came to Myra a citie of Lysia.
27:6	And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and he put vs therein.
27:7	And when wee had sailed slowly many dayes, and scarse were come ouer against Gnidus, the wind not suffering vs, wee sailed vnder Creete, ouer against Salmone,
27:8	And hardly passing it, came vnto a place which is called the Faire hauens, nigh whereunto was the citie of Lasea.
27:9	Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the Fast was now alreadie past, Paul admonished them,
27:10	And said vnto them, Sirs, I perceiue that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not onely of the lading & ship, but also of our liues.
27:11	Neuerthelesse, the Centurion beleeued the master and the owner of the shippe, more then those things which were spoken by Paul.
27:12	And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, the more part aduised to depart thence also, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an hauen of Creete, and lieth toward the Southwest, and Northwest.
27:13	And when the South wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Creete.
27:14	But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous winde, called Euroclydon.
27:15	And when the ship was caught, and could not beare vp into the winde, we let her driue.
27:16	And running vnder a certaine yland, which is called Clauda, wee had much worke to come by the boate:
27:17	Which when they had taken vp, they vsed helps, vnder-girding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicke-sands, strake saile, and so were driuen.
27:18	And being exceedingly tossed with a tempest the next day, they lightened the ship:
27:19	And the third day we cast out with our owne handes the tackling of the shippe.
27:20	And when neither Sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay on vs; all hope that wee should be saued, was then taken away.
27:21	But after long abstinence, Paul stood foorth in the middes of them, and said, Sirs, yee should haue hearkened vnto mee, and not haue loosed from Creete, and to haue gained this harme and losse.
27:22	And now I exhort you to be of good cheere: for there shall be no losse of any mans life among you, but of the shippe.
27:23	For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serue,
27:24	Saying, Feare not Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and loe, God hath giuen thee all them that saile with thee.
27:25	Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheere: for I beleeue God, that it shall be euen as it was tolde me.
27:26	Howbeit, we must be cast vpon a certaine Iland.
27:27	But when the fourteenth night was come, as wee were driuen vp and downe in Adria about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they drew neere to some countrey:
27:28	And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded againe, and found it fifteene fathoms.
27:29	Then fearing lest we should haue fallen vpon rockes, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished for the day.
27:30	And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let downe the boat into the sea, vnder colour as though they would haue cast ancres out of the fore-ship,
27:31	Paul said to the Centurion, and to the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saued.
27:32	Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
27:33	And while the day was comming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, hauing taken nothing.
27:34	Wherefore, I pray you to take some meat, for this is for your health: for there shall not an haire fall from the head of any of you.
27:35	And when hee had thus spoken, hee tooke bread, and gaue thankes to God in presence of them all, and when he had broken it, he began to eate.
27:36	Then were they all of good cheere, and they also tooke some meat.
27:37	And we were in all, in the ship, two hundred, threescore and sixteene soules.
27:38	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
27:39	And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discouered a certaine creek, with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
27:40	And when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed themselues vnto the sea, & loosed the rudder bands, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and made toward shore.
27:41	And falling into a place where two seas met, they ranne the shippe a ground, and the forepart stucke fast, and remained vnmoueable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waues.
27:42	And the souldiers counsel was to kil the prisoners, lest any of them should swimme out, and escape.
27:43	But the Centurion, willing to saue Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that they which could swimme, should cast themselues first into the sea, and get to land:
27:44	And the rest, some on boords, and some on broken pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they escaped all safe to land.


27:1	Now when it was concluded, that we should sayle into Italie, they deliuered both Paul, and certaine other prisoners vnto a Centurion named Iulius, of the band of Augustus.
27:2	And we entred into a ship of Adramyttium purposing to saile by the coastes of Asia, and launched foorth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with vs.
27:3	And the next day we arriued at Sidon: and Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to go vnto his friends, that they might refresh him.
27:4	And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie.
27:5	Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie in Lycia.
27:6	And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.
27:7	And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to Salmone,
27:8	And with much adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.
27:9	So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,
27:10	And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.
27:11	Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.
27:12	And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.
27:13	And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
27:14	But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
27:15	And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
27:16	And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.
27:17	Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.
27:18	The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.
27:19	And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.
27:20	And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.
27:21	But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse.
27:22	But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shalbe no losse of any mans life among you, saue of the ship onely.
27:23	For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue,
27:24	Saying, Feare not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath giuen vnto thee freely all that sayle with thee.
27:25	Wherefore, sirs, be of good courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me.
27:26	Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.
27:27	And when ye fourteenth night was come, as we were caried to and from in the Adriaticall sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some countrey approched vnto them,
27:28	And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene fathoms.
27:29	Then fearing least they should haue fallen into some rough places, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished that the day were come.
27:30	Nowe as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let downe the boat into the sea vnder a colour as though they would haue cast ankers out of the foreship,
27:31	Paul sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe.
27:32	Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.
27:33	And when it began to be day, Paul exhorted them all to take meate, saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, receiuing nothing:
27:34	Wherefore I exhort you to take meate: for this is for your safegarde: for there shall not an heare fall from the head of any of you.
27:35	And when he had thus spoken, hee tooke bread and gaue thankes to God, in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eate.
27:36	Then were they all of good courage, and they also tooke meate.
27:37	Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules.
27:38	And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
27:39	And when it was day, they knewe not the countrey, but they spied a certaine creeke with a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the ship.
27:40	So when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed the ship vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and drewe to the shore.
27:41	And when they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stucke fast, and could not be moued, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waues.
27:42	Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away.
27:43	But the Centurion willing to saue Paul, stayed them from this counsell, and commanded that they that coulde swimme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and goe out to land:
27:44	And the other, some on boardes, and some on certaine pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they came all safe to land.


27:1	When it was concluded that we shoulde sayle into Italye, they deliuered Paule, and certaine other prisoners vnto one named Iulius, an vnder captayne of Cesars souldiers.
27:2	And we entred into a ship of Adramicium, and lowsed from land, appointed to saile by the coastes of Asia, one Aristarcus out of Macedonia, of the countrey of Thessalia, beinge with vs.
27:3	And the next day we came to Sidon. And Iulius courteously entreated Paule, and gaue hym libertie to go vnto his frendes, and to refreshe him selfe.
27:4	And from thence lanched we, and sayled hard by Cypers, because the windes were contrarie.
27:5	Then sayled we ouer the sea of Cylycia, and Pamphilia, and came to Mira a citie in Lycia.
27:6	And there the vnder captaine founde a shyp of Alexander redy to sayle into Italy & put vs therin.
27:7	And when we had sailed slowly manye dayes, and scace were come ouer againste Gnidou (because the wynde withstode vs) we sayled harde by the coastes of Candy, ouer againste Salmo,
27:8	and with much worcke sayled beyonde it, and came vnto a place called good porte. Nye wherunto was a cytie called Lasea.
27:9	When muche tyme was spente and sailinge was nowe ieoperdous, because also that we had ouerlonge fasted, Paule put them in remembraunce,
27:10	and sayed vnto them Sirs: I perceiue that thys viage wilbe wyth hurte and much domage, not of the lodynge. And ship onely: but also of oure liues.
27:11	Neuerthelater the vndercaptaine beleued the gouerner & the maister, better then those thinges, which were spoken of Paule.
27:12	And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many toke counsell to departe thence, if by anye meanes they mighte attaine to Phenices, and there to winter, which is an hauen of Candy, and serueth to the southwest and northwest wind.
27:13	When the south wind blewe, they supposynge to obtayne theyr purpose, loused vnto Asson and sailed paste al Candy.
27:14	But anone after there arose againste their purpose, a flowe of winde out of the northeaste.
27:15	And when the shyp was caughte, and coulde not resiste the winde, we lette her go & draue with the wether.
27:16	And we came vnto an yle named Clauda, and had muche worke to come by a bote,
27:17	whiche they toke vp an vsed helpe, vndergerdinge the shippe, fearinge lest they shoulde haue fallen into Syrtes and we let doune a vessell and so were caried.
27:18	The nexte daye, when we were tossed with an excedinge tempest, they lightened the shippe,
27:19	& the third daye we cast out with oure owne handes, the tacklinge of the shippe.
27:20	When at the laste nether sunne nor starre in manye dayes appeared, and no smal tempest laye vpon vs, all hope that we shoulde be saued, was then taken awaye.
27:21	Then after longe abstinence, Paul stode forth in the middest of them and saied: Syrs ye shoulde haue herkened to me, and not haue loused from Candy, neyther to haue brought vnto vs this harme and losse.
27:22	And nowe I exhorte you to be of good chere, for there shall be no losse of anye mans lyfe amonge you, saue of the shyppe onelye.
27:23	For there stode by me this nyght the aungell of God. Whose I am, and whom I serue,
27:24	sayinge. Feare not Paule, for thou muste be broughte before Cesar. And lo, God hath geuen vnto the all that sayle wyth the.
27:25	Wherfore Syrs be of good cheare: for I beleue God, that so it shal be euen as it was tolde me.
27:26	How be it we must be cast into a certaine Ilande.
27:27	But when the fourtenth nyghte was come, as we were caryed in Adria about midnyght, the shipmen demed that there appeared some countreye vnto them:
27:28	and sounded, and founde it .xx. feadoms. And when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and founde .xv. feadoms.
27:29	Then fearing lest they should haue fallen on some Rocke, they cast .iiij. ancres out the sterne, and wyshed for the day.
27:30	As the shipmen were about to flee out of the shyp, & had let doune the bote into the sea, vnder a coloure, as though they woulde haue cast ancres out of the forshyppe:
27:31	Paule sayed vnto the vnder captaine, and the souldiers: excepte these abyde in the shyp, ye can not be safe.
27:32	Then the souldiers cut of the rope of the bote, and let it fall away.
27:33	And in the meane tyme betwixt that and daye, Paule besoughte them al to take meate, sayinge: thys is the fourtenth daye, that ye haue taried, and continued fastinge, receiuinge nothinge at all.
27:34	Wherfore I praye you take meate: for thys no doubte is for your health: for there shall not an heire fal from the heade of anye of you.
27:35	And when he had thus spoken, he toke bread, and gaue thankes to God in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eate.
27:36	Then were they all of good cheare, and they also toke meate.
27:37	We were all together in the shippe, two hundreth three score and sixtene soules.
27:38	And when they had eaten inough, they lyghtened the shippe, & cast out the wheate into the sea.
27:39	When it was daye, they knewe not the land, but they spied a certaine hauen wyth a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the shippe.
27:40	And when they had taken vp the ancres, they committed them selues vnto the sea, and loused the rudder bondes, and hoysed vp the manye sayle to the winde and drue to lande.
27:41	But they chaunsed on a place, whiche had the sea on both the sydes, and thruste in the ship. And the fore part stucke fast and moued not, but the hinder brake wyth the violence of the wawes.
27:42	The souldiers counsel was to kyll the prysoners, lest anye of them, when he had swome out, shoulde flee awaye.
27:43	But the vnder captaine willing to saue Paule, kepte them from their purpose, and commaunded that they that could swyme, should cast them selues first into the sea, and scape to land.
27:44	And the other he commaunded to go, some on bourdes, & some on broken peces of the shyp. And so it came to passe, that they came al safe to lande.
