Acts - Chapter: 27


27:1	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,
27:2	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,
27:3	on the next `day' also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit `him', having gone on unto friends, to receive `their' care.
27:4	And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
27:5	and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,
27:6	and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,
27:7	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,
27:8	and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city `of' Lasaea.
27:9	And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing,
27:10	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;'
27:11	but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;
27:12	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, `there' to winter, `which is' a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,
27:13	and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained `their' purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
27:14	and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,
27:15	and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given `her' up, we were borne on,
27:16	and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
27:17	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.
27:18	And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding `day' they were making a clearing,
27:19	and on the third `day' with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,
27:20	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.
27:21	And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved `you', indeed, O men -- having hearkened to me -- not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
27:22	and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you -- but of the ship;
27:23	for there stood by me this night a messenger of God -- whose I am, and whom I serve --
27:24	saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;
27:25	wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,
27:26	and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.'
27:27	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;
27:28	and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
27:29	and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.
27:30	And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as `if' out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,
27:31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship -- ye are not able to be saved;'
27:32	then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.
27:33	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,
27:34	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;'
27:35	and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken `it', he began to eat;
27:36	and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,
27:37	(and we were -- all the souls in the ship -- two hundred, seventy and six),
27:38	and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.
27:39	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,
27:40	and the anchors having taken up, they were committing `it' 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,
27:41	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.
27:42	And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,
27:43	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,
27:44	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.


27:1	When it was cocluded that we shuld sayle into Italy they delivered Paul and certayne other presoners vnto one named Iulius an vnder captayne of Cesars soudiars.
27:2	And we entred into a ship of Adramicium and lowsed from lond apoynted to sayle by the costes of Asia one Aristarcus out of Macedonia of the contre of Thessalia beinge with vs.
27:3	And the nexte daye we came to Sidon. And Iulius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberte to goo vnto his frendes and to refresshe him selfe.
27:4	And from thence lanched we and sayled harde by Cypers because the wyndes were contrarye.
27:5	Then sayled we over the see of Cilicia and Pamphylia and came to Myra a cite in Lycia.
27:6	And there ye vnder captayne founde a shippe of Alexander redy to sayle into Italy and put vs therin.
27:7	And when we had sayled slowly many dayes and scace were come over agaynst Gnydon (because the wynde with stode vs) we sayled harde by the costes of Candy over agaynste Salmo
27:8	and with moche worke sayled beyonde yt and came vnto a place called good porte. Nye whervnto was a citie called Lasea.
27:9	When moche tyme was spent and saylinge was now ieoperdeous because also that we had overlonge fasted Paul put them in remembraunce
27:10	and sayde vnto them Syrs I perceave that this vyage wilbe with hurte and moche domage not of the ladynge and ship only: but also of oure lyves.
27:11	Neverthelather the vndercaptayne beleved the governer and the master better then tho thinges which were spoken of Paul.
27:12	And because the haven was not comodius to wynter in many toke counsell to departe thence yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices and there to wynter which is an haven of Candy and servith to the southwest and northwest wynde.
27:13	When the south wynde blewe they supposynge to obtayne their purpose lowsed vnto Asson and sayled paste all Candy.
27:14	But anone after ther arose agaynste their purpose a flawe of wynde out of the northeeste.
27:15	And when the ship was caught and coulde not resist the wynde we let her goo and drave with the wether.
27:16	And we came vnto an yle named Clauda and had moche worke to come by abote
27:17	which they toke vp and vsed helpe vndergerdynge the shippe fearynge lest we shuld have fallen into Syrtes and we let doune a vessell and so were caryed.
27:18	The nexte daye when we were tossed wt an exceadynge tempest they lyghtened ye ship
27:19	and the thyrde daye we cast out with oure awne hondes the tacklynge of the shippe.
27:20	When at the last nether sunne nor starre in many dayes appered and no small tempest laye apon vs all hope that we shuld be saved was then taken awaye.
27:21	Then after longe abstinence Paul stode forth in the myddes of them and sayde: Syrs ye shulde have harkened to me and not have lowsed from Candy nether to have brought vnto vs this harme and losse.
27:22	And nowe I exhorte you to be of good chere. For ther shalbe no losse of eny mas lyfe amonge you save of the ship only.
27:23	For ther stode by me this nyght the angell of God whose I am and whom I serve
27:24	sayinge: feare not Paul for thou must be brought before Cesar. And lo God hath geven vnto the all that sayle with ye.
27:25	Wherfore Syrs be of good chere: for I beleve God that so it shalbe even as it was tolde me.
27:26	How be it we must be cast into a certayne ylonde.
27:27	But when ye fourtethe nyght was come as we were caryed in Adria about mydnyght the shipmen demed that ther appered some countre vnto the:
27:28	and sounded and founde it .xx. feddoms. And when they had gone a lytell further they sounded agayne and founde .xv. feddoms.
27:29	Then fearinge lest they shuld have fallen on some Rocke they cast .iiii. ancres out of the sterne and wysshed for ye daye.
27:30	As the shipmen were about to fle out of the ship and had let doune the bote into the see vnder a coloure as though they wolde have cast ancres out of the forshippe:
27:31	Paul sayd vnto ye vnder captayne and the soudiers: excepte these abyde in the ship ye cannot be safe.
27:32	Then the soudiers cut of the rope of the bote and let it fall awaye.
27:33	And in ye meane tyme betwixt that and daye Paul besought them all to take meate sayinge: this is ye fourtenthe daye that ye have taried and continued fastynge receavinge nothinge at all.
27:34	Wherfore I praye you to take meate: for this no dout is for youre helth: for ther shall not an heere fall fro the heed of eny of you.
27:35	And when he had thus spoke he toke breed and gave thankes to God in presence of the all and brake it and begane to eate.
27:36	Then were they all of good cheare and they also toke meate.
27:37	We were all together in ye ship two hundred thre score and sixtene soules.
27:38	And whe they had eate ynough they lightened ye ship and cast out the wheate into the see.
27:39	Whe yt was daye they knew not ye lande but they spied a certayne haven with a banke into ye which they were mynded (yf yt were possible) to thrust in the ship.
27:40	And when they had taken vp the ancres they comytted them selves vnto the see and lowsed the rudder bondes and hoysed vp ye mayne sayle to the wynde and drue to londe.
27:41	But they chaunsed on a place which had the see on bothe the sydes and thrust in the ship. And the foore parte stucke fast and moved not but ye hynder brake with the violence of the waves.
27:42	The soudears counsell was to kyll ye presoners lest eny of them when he had swome out shulde fle awaye.
27:43	But the vndercaptayne willinge to save Paul kept the from their purpose and commaunded that they yt could swyme shulde cast the selves first in to ye see and scape to londe.
27:44	And the other he comaunded to goo some on bordes and some on broken peces of the ship. And so it came to passe that they came all safe to londe.


27:1	Whan it was concluded that we shulde sayle in to Italy, they delyuered Paul and certayne other presoners to the vndercaptayne named Iulius, of the Emperours soudyers.
27:2	And whan we were entred in to a shippe of Adramitium, to sayle by Asia, we lowsed from londe. And there was with vs one Aristarchus out of Macedonia off Thessalonica,
27:3	and on the nexte daye we came vnto Sidon. And Iulius intreated Paul curteously, and gaue him liberty to go to his frendes, and to refresh himselfe.
27:4	And from thence launched we, and sayled harde by Cypers (because the wyndes were agaynst vs)
27:5	and sayled ouer the see of Celicia and Pamphilia, and came to Myra in Lycia.
27:6	And there the vndercaptayne founde a shippe of Alexadria, ready to sayle in to Italy, and put vs therin.
27:7	And whan we had sayled slowly, and in many dayes were scarcely come ouer agaynst Gnydon (for the wynde with stode vs) we sayled by Candy nye vnto the cite off Salmo,
27:8	and came scarcely beyonde it. Then came we to a place, which is called Goodhauen, nye where vnto was the cite Lasea.
27:9	Now whan moch tyme was spent, and saylinge was now ioperdous, because that they also had fasted ouerlonge, Paul exhorted them,
27:10	and sayde vnto them: Syrs, I se that this saylinge wyl be with hurte and moch dammage, not onely of the ladynge and of the shippe, but also of oure lyues.
27:11	Neuertheles ye vndercaptayne beleued the gouernoure of the shippe and ye master, more then it that was spoken of Paul.
27:12	And for somoch as the haue was not comodious to wynter in, the more parte off them toke councell to departe thece, yf by eny meanes they might come to Phenices to wynter there, which is an hauen of Candy, towarde the Southwest and Northwest wynde.
27:13	Whan the South wynde blewe, they supposinge to haue had their purpose, lowsed vnto Asson, and sayled past all Candy.
27:14	But not longe after, there rose agaynst their purpose a flawe of wynde, which is called the Northeast.
27:15	And whan the shippe was caught, and coulde not resist ye wynde, we let her go, and draue with the wedder.
27:16	But we came to an Ile named Claudia, where we coulde scarce get a bote.
27:17	Which they toke vp, and vsed helpe, and bounde it vnder harde to the shippe, fearinge lest they shulde haue fallen in to the Syrtes, and let downe the vessell, and so were caried.
27:18	And whan we had bydden a greate tepest, on the nexte daye they made an outcastinge.
27:19	And on the thirde daye with oure awne handes we cast out the tacklynge of the shippe.
27:20	But wha nether Sonne ner starres appeared in many dayes, and no small tempest laye vpon vs, all the hope of oure life was taken awaye.
27:21	And after longe abstinence, Paul stode forth in the myddes of the, and sayde: Syrs, ye shulde haue herkened vnto me, and not to haue lowsed from Candy, and not to haue broughte vs this harme and losse.
27:22	And now I exhorte you to be of good cheare, for there shal none of oure lyues perishe, but the shippe onely.
27:23	For this night stode by me the angell off God (whose I am, & who I serue)
27:24	& saide: Feare not Paul, thou must be broughte before the Emperoure. And lo, God hath geuen vnto the all the that sayle with the.
27:25	Wherfore syrs be of good cheare: for I beleue God, yt it shal come so to passe, as it was tolde me.
27:26	Howbeit we must be cast in to a certayne ylonde.
27:27	But whan the fourtenth night came, as we were caried in Adria aboute mydnight, ye shipmen demed that there appeared some countre vnto them,
27:28	and they cast out the leade, and founde it twetye feddoms: and wha they were gone a litle farther, they cast out the leade agayne, and founde fyftene feddoms.
27:29	Then fearinge lest they shulde fall on some rocke, they cast foure anckers out of the sterne, and wysshed for the daye.
27:30	Whan the shipmen were aboute to flye out of the shippe, and let downe the bote in to the see, (vnder a coloure as though they wolde cast ankers out of the fore shippe)
27:31	Paul sayde to ye vndercaptayne and to the soudyers: Excepte these byde in the shippe, ye can not be saued.
27:32	Then the soudyers cut of the rope from the bote, and let it fall.
27:33	And whan it beganne to be daye, Paul exhorted them all to take meate, and sayde: To daye is the fourtene daye that ye haue taried and contynued fastinge, and haue receaued nothinge:
27:34	Wherfore I praye you to take meate, for youre health: for there shal not one heer fall from the heade of eny of you.
27:35	And whan he had thus spoken, he toke bred, and gaue thankes to God before them all, and brake it, and begane to eate.
27:36	Then were they all of good cheare, and toke meate also.
27:37	We were all together in the shippe two hundreth thre score and sixtene soules.
27:38	And whan they had eaten ynough, they lightened the shippe, and cast out the wheate in to the see.
27:39	Whan it was daye, they knewe not the londe. But they spyed an hauen with a banke, in to which they were mynded (yf it were possible) to thrust in the shippe.
27:40	And whan they had take vp the anckers, they commytted them selues to the see, and lowsed the rudder bandes, and hoyssed vp the mayne sayle to the wynde, and drue towarde londe.
27:41	And whan we chaunced on a place which had the see on both the sydes, the shippe dasshed vpon it. And the fore parte abode fast vnmoued, but the hynder parte brake thorow the violence of the wawes.
27:42	The soudyers councell was to kyll ye presoners, lest eny of them whan he had swymmed out, shulde flye awaye.
27:43	But the vndercaptayne wyllinge to saue Paul, keped them from their purpose, and commaunded that they which coulde swymme, shulde cast them selues first in to the see, and escape vnto londe:
27:44	and the other, some on bordes, some on broken peces of the shippe. And so it came to passe, that all the soules came safe vnto londe.
