6 There the centurion found a ship from Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.
7 We sailed slowly for many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Because the wind prevented us from going any farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
8 With difficulty we sailed along the coast of Crete and came to a place called Fair Havens that was near the town of Lasea.
9 Caught in a Violent Storm Since considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast was already over, Paul advised them,
10 “Men, I can see the voyage is going to end in disaster and great loss not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
11 But the centurion was more convinced by the captain and the ship’s owner than by what Paul said.
12 Because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there. They hoped that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
13 When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought they could carry out their purpose, so they weighed anchor and sailed close along the coast of Crete.
14 Not long after this, a hurricane-force wind called the northeaster blew down from the island.
15 When the ship was caught in it and could not head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 As we ran under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to get the ship’s boat under control.
17 After the crew had hoisted it aboard, they used supports to undergird the ship. Fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, thus letting themselves be driven along.
18 The next day, because we were violently battered by the storm, they began throwing the cargo overboard,
19 and on the third day they threw the ship’s gear overboard with their own hands.
20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a violent storm continued to batter us, we finally abandoned all hope of being saved.
21 Since many of them had no desire to eat, Paul stood up among them and said,“Men, you should have listened to me and not put out to sea from Crete, thus avoiding this damage and loss.

29 Because they were afraid that we would run aground on the rocky coast, they threw out four anchors from the stern and wished for day to appear.
30 Then when the sailors tried to escape from the ship and were lowering the ship’s boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers,“Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it drift away.

36 So all of them were encouraged and took food themselves.
37 (We were in all two hundred seventy-six persons on the ship.)
38 When they had eaten enough to be satisfied, they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat into the sea.
39 Paul is Shipwrecked When day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40 So they slipped the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the linkage that bound the steering oars together. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and steered toward the beach.
41 But they encountered a patch of crosscurrents and ran the ship aground; the bow stuck fast and could not be moved, but the stern was being broken up by the force of the waves.
42 Now the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners so that none of them would escape by swimming away.
43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul’s life, prevented them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land,
44 and the rest were to follow, some on planks and some on pieces of the ship. And in this way all were brought safely to land.
