  • Acts 27:9-9 : 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.
