    6And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.

    7And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to Salmone,

    8And with much adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.

    9So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,

    10And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt & much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.

    11Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.

    12And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.

    13And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.

    14But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.

    15And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.

    16And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.

    17Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.

    18The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.

    19And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.

    26Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.

    27And when ye fourteenth night was come, as we were caried to and fro in the Adriaticall sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some countrey approched vnto them,

    28And sounded, & found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene fathoms.

    29Then fearing least they should haue fallen into some rough places, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished that the day were come.

    30Nowe as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let downe the boat into the sea vnder a colour as though they would haue cast ankers out of the foreship,

    31Paul sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe.

    32Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.

    37Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules.

    38And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, & cast out the wheat into the sea.

    39And when it was day, they knewe not the countrey, but they spied a certaine creeke with a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the ship.

    40So when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed the ship vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and drewe to the shore.

    41And when they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stucke fast, and could not be moued, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waues.

    42Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away.

    43But the Centurion willing to saue Paul, stayed them from this counsell, and commaunded that they that coulde swimme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and goe out to land:

    44And the other, some on boardes, and some on certaine pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they came all safe to land.
