    24Saying, Do not fear, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and indeed, God has granted you all those who sail with you.

    27But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were nearing land;

    28And they sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

    29Then fearing lest we should be driven upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for daybreak.

    30And as the sailors were attempting to escape from the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under pretext of laying out anchors from the prow,

    38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw the wheat into the sea.

    39And when it was day, they did not recognize the land: but they observed a certain creek with a shore, into which they planned, if it were possible, to run the ship.

    40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted the mainsail to the wind, and made for shore.

    41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the bow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was broken up by the violence of the waves.

    42And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them swim away and escape.

    43But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land:

    44And the rest, some on boards, and some on parts of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safely to land.

    7And when we had sailed slowly for many days, and barely came opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone;

    8And with difficulty passing it, came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

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

    10And said to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will result in disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives.

    11Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.

    12And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to sail from there also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, to winter there; which is a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest.

    17Which when they had taken up, they used aids to undergird the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they lowered the sail, and so were driven.

    18And being exceedingly tossed by a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

    19And on the third day we cast out, with our own hands, the ship's tackle.

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

    21But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in their midst, and said, Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete, and incurred this harm and loss.

    22And now I exhort you to take courage: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship.
