    37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.

    38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

    39 When it was day, they didn't recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

    40 Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

    41 But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

    42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

    43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;

    44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.

    6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

    7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

    8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

    9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

    10 and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."

    11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

    12 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.

    13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

    14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

    15 When the ship was caught, and couldn't face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.

    16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

    17 After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

    18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

    19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.

    20 When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

    21 When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

    22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

    23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

    24 saying, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

    25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

    26 But we must run aground on a certain island."

    27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
