    8With difficulty, we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

    9Much time had been lost, and the voyage was now dangerous because it was after the Day of Atonement. So Paul warned them,

    39When 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.

    40So 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.

    41But 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.

    42The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.

    43But 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,

    44and the rest were to follow, some on planks and others on pieces of the ship. In this way, everyone reached land safely.

    25So take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just as I was told.

    26But we must run aground on some island.

    27On the fourteenth night, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight, the sailors sensed that they were approaching land.

    28They took soundings and found the depth to be twenty fathoms. A little later they sounded again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.

    29Fearing that we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.

    13When 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.

    14But not long after, a violent wind, called the Northeaster, rushed down from the island.

    15The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind, so we gave way to it and were driven along.

    16As we passed to the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were barely able to secure the ship's lifeboat.

    17After 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.

    18The next day, as we were being violently tossed by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard.
