  • Acts 27:1-9 : 1 When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment. 2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail to ports along the coast of Asia, and we set sail. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us. 3 The next day we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to visit his friends so they could provide for his needs. 4 From there we put out to sea again and sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us. 5 After sailing across the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia. 6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board. 7 We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. Because the wind did not allow us to go further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, off Salmone. 8 With difficulty, we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea. 9 Much time had been lost, and the voyage was now dangerous because it was after the Day of Atonement. So Paul warned them, 10 "Men, I can see that our voyage will result in disaster and great loss, not only to the cargo and ship, but also to our own lives." 11 But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship than by what Paul said. 12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided that we should set sail, hoping to reach Phoenix, a harbor in Crete, facing southwest and northwest, to winter there. 13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had obtained what they wanted, so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 14 But not long after, a violent wind, called the Northeaster, rushed down from the island. 15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind, so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were barely able to secure the ship's lifeboat. 17 After hoisting it aboard, they used supports to undergird the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the sandbanks of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along. 18 The next day, as we were being violently tossed by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard. 19 On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued to rage, all hope of being saved was finally abandoned. 21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me and not set sail from Crete, thereby avoiding this disaster and loss. 22 But now I urge you to take courage, because not one of you will lose your life; only the ship will be lost. 23 Last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me, 24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar. And God has graciously given you the lives of all who are sailing with you.' 25 So take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just as I was told. 26 But we must run aground on some island. 27 On the fourteenth night, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight, the sailors sensed that they were approaching land. 28 They took soundings and found the depth to be twenty fathoms. A little later they sounded again and found it to be fifteen fathoms. 29 Fearing that we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight. 30 The sailors tried to escape from the ship, lowering the lifeboat into the sea under the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow. 31 But Paul said to the centurion and soldiers, "Unless these men stay aboard the ship, you cannot be saved." 32 So the soldiers cut the ropes holding the lifeboat and let it drift away. 33 As daylight was about to break, Paul urged them all to eat, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you have eaten nothing. 34 Therefore, I urge you to take some food, because this is important for your survival. Not one of you will lose a single hair from your head. 35 After he said this, Paul took some bread, gave thanks to God in front of everyone, broke it, and began to eat. 36 They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves. 37 Altogether there were 276 of us on board. 38 After they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea. 39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could. 40 So they cut loose the anchors and left them in the sea, untied the ropes that held the rudders, hoisted the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach. 41 But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern began to break apart under the pounding of the waves. 42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping. 43 But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest were to follow, some on planks and others on pieces of the ship. In this way, everyone reached land safely.
