    8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea.

    9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them],

    10And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

    11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

    12¶ And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

    19And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

    20And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

    40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed [themselves] unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

    41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

    42And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

    43But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast [themselves] first [into the sea], and get to land:

    44And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
