And lo, God hath geuen thee all them that sayle with thee. 25 Wherfore syrs be of good cheare: for I beleue God, that it shalbe euen as it was tolde me. 26 Howbeit, we must be cast into a certayne Ilande. 27 But when the fourtenth nyght was come, as we were saylyng in Adria, about mydnyght the shypmen deemed that there appeared some countrey vnto them: 28 And sounded, and founde it twentie faddomes. And when they had gone a litle further, they sounded agayne, and founde it fyfteene faddomes. 29 Then fearyng lest they shoulde haue fallen on some rocke, they caste foure anckers out of the sterne, and wisshed for the day. 30 And as the shypmen were about to flee out of the shippe, when they had let downe the boate into the sea, vnder a colour, as though they woulde haue cast anckers out of the foreshippe, 31 Paul sayde vnto the vnder captayne, and to the souldiers: Except these abide in the shippe, ye can not be safe. 32 Then the souldyers cut of the rope of the boate, and let it fall away. 33 And when the day began to appeare, Paul besought them all to take meate, saying: This is the foureteenth day, that ye haue taryed & continued fasting, receauyng nothyng at all. 34 Wherfore, I pray you to take meate, for this no doubt is for your health: for there shall not an heere fall from the head of any of you. 35 And when he had thus spoken, he toke bread, and gaue thankes to God in presence of them all: And when he had broken it, he began to eate. 36 Then were they all of good cheare, and they also toke meate. 37 And we were altogether in the shippe, two hudred threescore & sixteene soules. 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lyghted the shippe, and cast out the wheate into the sea. 39 And when it was day, they knewe not the lande: but they spyed a certayne hauen with a banke, into the which they were mynded, yf it were possible, to thrust in the shippe. 40 And when they had taken vp the anckers, they committed themselues vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bondes, and hoyssed vp the mayne sayle to the wynde, and drewe to lande. 41 And when they fell into a place which had the sea on both sydes, they thrust in the shippe: And the forepart stucke fast & moued not, but the hynder part brake with the violence of the waues. 42 And the souldiers counsel was to kyll the prysoners, lest any of them, when he had swomme out, should runne away. 43 But the vnder captayne wyllyng to saue Paul, kept the from their purpose, & commaunded that they which coulde swymme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and scape to lande: 44 And the other, some on boordes, and some on broke peeces of the shippe. And so it came to passe, that they escaped all safe to lande. 1 And when they were scaped, then they knewe that the Ile was called Melite. 2 And ye straungers shewed vs no litle kyndnesse: for they kyndled a fyre, and receaued vs euery one, because of the present rayne, and because of the colde. 3 And when Paul had gathered a bondell of stickes, and layde them on the fyre, there came a Uiper out of the heat, and caught hym by the hande. 4 And when the straungers sawe the beast hang on his hande, they sayde among them selues, No doubt this man is a murtherer: Whom though he haue escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffreth not to lyue. 5 And he shoke of the Uiper into the fyre, and felt no harme. 6 Howbeit, they wayted whe he shoulde haue swolne, or fallen downe dead sodenlie: But after they had loked a great while, and sawe no harme come to him, they chaunged their myndes, and sayde that he was a God. 7 In the same quarters were possessios of ye chiefe man of the Ile, whose name was Publius, which receaued vs, and lodged vs three dayes curteouslye. 8 And it came to passe, that the father of Publius lay sicke of a feuer, and of a bloody flixe: to whom Paul entred in, & prayed, and layde his handes on hym, and healed hym. 9 So when this was done, other also which had diseases in the Ile, came and were healed: 10 Which also dyd vs great honour, and when we departed, they laded vs with such thynges as were necessary. 11 And after three monethes we departed in a shippe of Alexandria, which had wyntred in the Ile, whose badge was Castor and Pollux. 12 And when we came to Syracusa, we taryed there three dayes. 13 And from thence we fet a compasse, and came to Rhegium, & after one day the south wynde blewe, and we came the next day to Puteolus: 14 Where we founde brethren, and were desired to tary with them seuen dayes, and so we came towarde Rome. 15 And from thence, when the brethren hearde of vs, they came to meete vs at Appii forum, and at the three tauernes. When Paul sawe the, he thanked God, and waxed bolde. 16 And when we came to Rome, ye vnder captayne delyuered the prysoners to the chiefe captayne of the hoast: But Paul was suffred to dwell by him selfe, with a souldyer that kept hym.
