    38After they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

    6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

    7We 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.

    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,

    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."

    11But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship than by what Paul said.

    12Since 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.

    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.

    19On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.

    20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued to rage, all hope of being saved was finally abandoned.

    21After 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.

    22But now I urge you to take courage, because not one of you will lose your life; only the ship will be lost.

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

    30The sailors tried to escape from the ship, lowering the lifeboat into the sea under the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow.

    31But Paul said to the centurion and soldiers, "Unless these men stay aboard the ship, you cannot be saved."

    32So the soldiers cut the ropes holding the lifeboat and let it drift away.
