    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
