Acts 27:1

Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they handed over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius, a Captain of the Augustan battalion;

And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

Acts 27:2

and going on board a ship of Adramyttium which was about to sail to the ports of the province of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, the Macedonian, from Thessalonica, forming one of our party.

Acts 27:7

It took several days of slow sailing for us to come with difficulty off Cnidus; from which point, as the wind did not allow us to get on in the direct course, we ran under the lee of Crete by Salmone.

And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:

Acts 27:8

Then, coasting along with difficulty, we reached a place called `Fair Havens,' near the town of Lasea.

And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.

And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.

Acts 27:9

Our voyage thus far had occupied a considerable time, and the navigation being now unsafe and the Fast also already over, Paul warned them.

And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,

Acts 27:10

"Sirs," he said, "I perceive that before long the voyage will be attended with danger and heavy loss, not only to the cargo and the ship but to our own lives also."

Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.

Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

Acts 27:11

But Julius let himself be persuaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments;

But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.

Acts 27:12

and as the harbour was inconvenient for wintering in, the majority were in favour of putting out to sea, to try whether they could get to Phoenix a harbour on the coast of Crete facing north-east and south-east to winter there.

And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.

And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.

Acts 27:13

And a light breeze from the south sprang up, so that they supposed they were now sure of their purpose. So weighing anchor they ran along the coast of Crete, hugging the shore.

And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.

And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.

Acts 27:14

But it was not long before a furious north-east wind, coming down from the mountains, burst upon us and carried the ship out of her course.

But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.

Acts 27:15

She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive.

And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.

Acts 27:16

Then we ran under the lee of a little island called Cauda, where we managed with great difficulty to secure the boat;

And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.

Acts 27:17

and, after hoisting it on board, they used frapping-cables to undergird the ship, and, as they were afraid of being driven on the Syrtis quicksands, they lowered the gear and lay to.

And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.

Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.

Acts 27:18

But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship;

Then, when for several days neither sun nor stars were seen and the terrific gale still harassed us, the last ray of hope was now vanishing.

And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.

Acts 27:21

When for a long time they had taken but little food, Paul, standing up among them, said, "Sirs, you ought to have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would then have escaped this suffering and loss.

And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.

And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.

Acts 27:22

But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only.

But now, I say to you, be of good heart, for there will be no loss of life, but only of the ship.

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship.

Acts 27:27

It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Sea of Adria, when, about midnight, the sailors suspected that land was close at hand.

But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;

But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.

Acts 27:28

Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.

Acts 27:29

Then, fearing that by chance we might come on to the rocks, they let down four hooks from the back of the ship, and made prayers for the coming of day.

Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

Acts 27:30

The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow.

Then the sailors made attempts secretly to get away from the ship, letting down a boat as if they were about to put down hooks from the front of the ship;

But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,

Acts 27:31

But Paul, addressing Julius and the soldiers, said, "Your lives will be sacrificed, unless these men remain on board."

But Paul said to the captain and his men, If you do not keep these men in the ship, you will not be safe.

Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.

Acts 27:32

Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off.

Then the armed men, cutting the cords of the boat, let her go.

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

Acts 27:33

And continually, up till daybreak, Paul kept urging all on board to take some food. "This is the fourteenth day," he said, "that you have been anxiously waiting for the storm to cease, and have fasted, eating little or nothing.

And when dawn was near, Paul gave them all orders to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day you have been waiting and taking no food.

And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.

Acts 27:34

I therefore strongly advise you to take some food. This is essential for your safety. For not a hair will perish from the head of any one of you."

So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.

Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health's sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.

Acts 27:35

Having said this he took some bread, and, after giving thanks to God for it before them all, he broke it in pieces and began to eat it.

And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

Acts 27:39

When daylight came, they tried in vain to recognise the coast. But an inlet with a sandy beach attracted their attention, and now their object was, if possible, to run the ship aground in this inlet.

And when it was day, they had no knowledge of the land, but they saw an inlet of the sea with a floor of sand, and they had the idea of driving the ship up on to it if possible.

And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.

Acts 27:40

So they cut away the anchors and left them in the sea, unloosing at the same time the bands which secured the paddle-rudders. Then, hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

So cutting away the hooks, and letting them go into the sea, and freeing the cords of the guiding-blades, and lifting up the sail to the wind, they went in the direction of the inlet.

And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.

Acts 27:41

Acts 27:42

Now the soldiers recommended that the prisoners should be killed, for fear some one of them might swim ashore and effect his escape.

Acts 27:43

But their Captain, bent on securing Paul's safety, kept them from their purpose and gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;

But the captain, desiring to keep Paul safe, kept them from their purpose, and gave orders that those who had knowledge of swimming were to go off the ship and get first to land:

But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.

Acts 27:44

and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. In this way they all got safely to land.

And the rest, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so it came about that they all got safe to land.

And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
