Behold{G2400}{(G5628)} also{G2532} the ships{G4143}, which though they be{G5607}{(G5752)} so great{G5082}, and{G2532} are driven{G1643}{(G5746)} of{G5259} fierce{G4642} winds{G417}, yet are they turned about{G3329}{(G5743)} with{G5259} a very small{G1646} helm{G4079}, whithersoever{G3699}{G302} the governor{G2116}{(G5723)} listeth{G3730}{G1014}{(G5741)}.
