2 And entering into a fhip of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to fail by the coafts of Afia, one Ariftarchus a Macedonian of Theffalonica, being with us. 3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 4 And when we had launched from thence, we failed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had failed over the fea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria failing into Italy; and he put us therein. 7 And when we had failed flowly many days, and scarce. were come over against Cnidus, the wind not fuffering us, we failed under Crete over against Salmone; 8 And hardly paffing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens ; nigh whereunto was the city of Lafea. 9 Now when much time was spent, and when failing was now dangerous, because the faft was now already paft, Paul admonished them, 10 And faid unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and fhip but also of our lives. II Nevertheless the cenrion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than thofe things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the fouth west and north west. 13 And when the fouth wind blew foftly, fuppofing that they had obtained their purpofc, loofing thence, they failed close by Crete. 14 But not long after there arose against it a tenpeftuous wind, called Euroclydon. 15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up up into the wind, we let her drive. 16 And running under a certain ifland which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat : 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cefar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that fail with thee. 25 Wherefore, firs, be of good cheer: for I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me. 26 Howbeit, we must be caft upon a certain island. 27 But when the four 17 Which when they had taken up, they ufed helps, undergirding the fhip; and fearing left they should fall into the quickfands, ftrake fail, and fo were driven. 18 And we being exceed-teenth night was come, as ingly toffed with a tempeft, the next day they lightened the fhip; 19 And the third day we caft out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 20 And when neither fun nor ftars in many days appeared, and no small tempeft Jay on us, all hope that we fhould be faved was then taken away. 21 But after long abftinence, Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and faid, Sirs, ye fhould have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and lofs. 22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there fhall be no lofs of any man's life among you, but of the fhip. 23 For there ftood by me this night the angel of God, whofe I am, and whom I ferve, we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the fhipmen deemed that they drew near to fome country;. 28 And founded, and found it twenty fathoms : and when they had gone a little further, they founded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 29 Then fearing left they fhould have fallen upon rocks, they caft four anchors out of the ftern, and wished for the day. 30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the fea, under colour as though they would have caft anchors out of the forefhip, 31 Paul faid to the centurion and to the foldiers, Except these abide in the fhip, ye cannot be faved. 32 Then 32 Then the foldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 33 And when the day was coming on, Paul befought them all to take meat, faying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and continued fafting, having taken nothing. 34 Wherefore I pray you to take fome meat: for this is for your health for there fhall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 35 And when he had thus fpoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat. 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they alfo took fome meat. which they were minded, if it were poffible, to thrust in the fhip. 40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themfelves unto the fea, and loofed the rudder-bands, and hoifed up the mainfail to the wind, and made toward shore. 41 And falling into a place where two feas met, they ran the fhip aground: and the fore part ftuck faft and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. 42 And the foldiers' council was to kill the prifoners, left any of them should swim out and efcape. 43 But the centurion, willing to fave Paul, kept them from their purpose, and 37 And we were in all in the fhip two hundred three-commanded that they which fcore and fixteen fouls. 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the fhip, and caft out the wheat into the fea. 39 And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek with a fhore, into the could fwim, fhould caft themselves first into the seas and get to land: 44 And the reft, fome on boards, and fome on broken pieces of the fhip. And fo it came to pafs, that they efcaped all fafe to land. From the Epiftle of PAUL to the ROMANS. Τ' CHAP.
