| 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. |
| 27:1 | When it was concluded, that we shuld sayle into Italy they delyuered both Paul & certayne other presoners, vnto one named Iulius, an vndercaptayne of Cesars soudiars. |

| 27:3 | And the nexte daye we came to Sidon. And Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him lyberte, to go vnto his frendes, & to refresshe hym selfe. |
| 27:4 | And whan we had launched from thence, we sayled harde by Cypers, because the wyndes were contrarye. |
| 27:5 | And whan we had sayled ouer the see of Cylicia, & Pamphilia, we cam to Myra whych is in Lycia. |
| 27:6 | And there the vndercaptayne founde a shyppe of Alexandria ready, that sayled into Italy, and he put vs therin. |
| 27:7 | And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scace were come ouer agaynst Guydon (because the wynde wyth stode vs) we sayled harde by the coaste of Candy, ouer agaynst Salmo, |
| 27:8 | and wyth moche worke sayled beyonde it, & came vnto a place which is called the fayre hauens. Nye wher vnto was the cytie of Lasea |
| 27:9 | when moche tyme was spent, and whan sayling was now ieoperdous, because also that they had ouerlonge fasted, Paul put them in remembraunce, |
| 27:10 | and sayd vnto them: Syrs I perceaue, that thys viage wilbe wyth hurte and moche damage, not of the ladynge and shyp onely, but also of your lyues: |
| 27:11 | Neuerthelesse the vnder captayne beleued the gouerner & the master of the shyp more then those thynges whych were spoken of Paul. |
| 27:12 | And because the hauen was not commodious to wynter in, many toke counsell to departe thence, yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices & there to wynter, whych is an hauen of Candy, and lyeth toward the southwest and north west wynde. |
| 27:13 | When the south wynde blewe, they supposynge to obtayne their purpose, loosed vnto Asson, and sayled past all Candy. |
| 27:14 | But not long after, ther arose agaynst theyr purpose, a flawe of wynde out of the northeast. |
| 27:15 | And when the shyp was caught & could not resyst the wynde, we let her go, and draue with the wether. |
| 27:16 | But we were caryed in to an yle whych is named Clauda, and had moche worke to come by a bote, |
| 27:17 | whych they toke vp, and vsed helpe, & made fast the shyppe, fearinge, lest they shuld fall into the Syrtes. And so they let downe a vessell, and were caryed. |
| 27:18 | The nexte daye (when we were tossed wyth an exceadinge tempest) they lyghttened the shyp, |
| 27:19 | and the thyrde daye we cast out wyth oure awne handes the taklynge of the shippe. |
| 27:20 | When at the last, nether the sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest laye vpon vs, all hope that we shuld escape, was then taken awaye. |
| 27:21 | But after longe abstynence, Paul stode forth in the myddes of them, & sayde: Syrs, ye shulde haue harkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candy, nether to haue brought vnto vs thys harme & losse. |
| 27:22 | And now I exhorte you to be of good chere. For ther shalbe no losse of eny mans lyfe amonge you, saue of the ship onely. |
| 27:23 | For ther stode by me thys nyght the angell of God, whose I am, and who I serue, |
| 27:24 | saying: feare not Paul thou must be brought before Cesar, And lo, God hath geuen the all them that sayle wyth the. |
| 27:25 | Wherfore syrs be of good chere: for I beleue God, that it shalbe euen as it was tolde me. |
| 27:26 | How be it we must be cast into a certayne ylonde: |
| 27:27 | But when the fourtenth nyght was come (as we were sayling in Adria about mydnyght) the shypmen demed, that ther appeared some countre vnto them: |
| 27:28 | and sounded, & founde it .xx. feddoms. And when they had gone a lytell further, they sounded agayne, and founde .xv. feddoms. |
| 27:29 | Then fearynge lest they shuld haue fallen on some rocke, they cast .iiij. ancres out of the sterne, and wysshed for the daye. |
| 27:30 | As the shypmen were about to flee out of the shyp (whan they had let downe the bote into the see, vnder a couloure, as though they wolde haue cast ancres out of the forshippe) |
| 27:31 | Paul sayde vnto the vndercaptayne and to the soudyers: excepte these abyde in the shypye cannot be safe. |
| 27:32 | Then the soudyers cut of the rope of the bote, and let it fall awaye. |
| 27:33 | And whan the daye beganne to appeare, Paul besought them all to take meate, sayinge: thys is the fourtenth daye, that ye haue taryed and contynued fastynge, receauynge nothing at all. |
| 27:34 | Wherfore, I praye you to take meate: for this no dout is for youre helth: for ther shall not an heer fall from the heed of eny of you. |
| 27:35 | And when he had thus spoken, he toke breed and gaue thankes to God in presence of them all: and whan he had broken it, he beganne to eate. |
| 27:36 | Then were they all of good cheare, and they also toke meate. |
| 27:37 | We were all together in the shyp, two hundred threscore and syxtene soules. |
| 27:38 | And when they had eaten ynough, they lyghtened the shyp, and cast out the wheate in to the see. |
| 27:39 | When it was daye, they knew not the lande, but they spyed a certayne hauen with a bancke, into the whych they were mynded (if it were possyble) to thrust in the shyp. |
| 27:40 | And when they had taken vp the ancres, they committed them selues vnto the see, and lowsed the rudder bondes and hoysed vp the mayne sayle to the wynde, and drue to lande. |
| 27:41 | And whan they chaunced on a place, whych had the see on both the sydes, they thrust in the shyp. And the foreparte stucke fast and moued not, but the hynder parte brake wyth the violence of the waues. |
| 27:42 | The Soudyars councell was to kyll the presoners, lest eny of them, when he had swome out, shulde ronne awaye. |
| 27:43 | But the vndercaptayne wyllinge to saue Paul, kept them from theyr purpose, and commaunded that they whych coulde swymme, shulde cast them selues fyrst into the see, and scape to lande. |
| 27:44 | And the other he commaunded to go, some on bordes, and some on broken peces of the shyp. And so it came to passe, that they escaped all safe to lande. |
| 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. |
