    7And 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;

    8and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

    9And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

    10and 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.

    11But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

    12And 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 north-east and south-east.

    13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

    15and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.

    18And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the [the freight] overboard;

    19and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

    28and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

    29And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

    37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

    38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

    39And 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.

    40And 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.

    41But 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] .

    42And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.

    43But 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;

    44and 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.
