Acts - Chapter: 27


27:1	And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
27:2	And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
27:3	And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
27:4	And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
27:5	And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
27:6	And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
27:7	And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
27:8	And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
27:9	Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
27:10	And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
27:11	Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
27:12	And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
27:13	And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
27:14	But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
27:15	And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
27:16	And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
27:17	Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
27:18	And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
27:19	And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
27:20	And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
27:21	But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
27:22	And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
27:23	For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
27:24	Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
27:25	Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
27:26	Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27:27	But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
27:28	And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
27:29	Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
27:30	And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
27:31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
27:32	Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
27:33	And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
27:34	Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
27:35	And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
27:36	Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
27:37	And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
27:38	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
27:39	And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
27:40	And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
27:41	And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
27:42	And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
27:43	But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
27:44	And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.


27:1	Now when it was concluded, that we should sayle into Italie, they deliuered both Paul, and certaine other prisoners vnto a Centurion named Iulius, of the band of Augustus.
27:2	And we entred into a ship of Adramyttium purposing to saile by the coastes of Asia, and launched foorth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with vs.
27:3	And the next day we arriued at Sidon: and Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to go vnto his friends, that they might refresh him.
27:4	And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie.
27:5	Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie in Lycia.
27:6	And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.
27:7	And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to Salmone,
27:8	And with much adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.
27:9	So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,
27:10	And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.
27:11	Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.
27:12	And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.
27:13	And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
27:14	But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
27:15	And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
27:16	And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.
27:17	Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.
27:18	The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.
27:19	And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.
27:20	And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.
27:21	But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse.
27:22	But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shalbe no losse of any mans life among you, saue of the ship onely.
27:23	For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue,
27:24	Saying, Feare not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath giuen vnto thee freely all that sayle with thee.
27:25	Wherefore, sirs, be of good courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me.
27:26	Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.
27:27	And when ye fourteenth night was come, as we were caried to and from in the Adriaticall sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some countrey approched vnto them,
27:28	And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene fathoms.
27:29	Then fearing least they should haue fallen into some rough places, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished that the day were come.
27:30	Nowe as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let downe the boat into the sea vnder a colour as though they would haue cast ankers out of the foreship,
27:31	Paul sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe.
27:32	Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.
27:33	And when it began to be day, Paul exhorted them all to take meate, saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, receiuing nothing:
27:34	Wherefore I exhort you to take meate: for this is for your safegarde: for there shall not an heare fall from the head of any of you.
27:35	And when he had thus spoken, hee tooke bread and gaue thankes to God, in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eate.
27:36	Then were they all of good courage, and they also tooke meate.
27:37	Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules.
27:38	And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
27:39	And when it was day, they knewe not the countrey, but they spied a certaine creeke with a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the ship.
27:40	So when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed the ship vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and drewe to the shore.
27:41	And when they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stucke fast, and could not be moued, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waues.
27:42	Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away.
27:43	But the Centurion willing to saue Paul, stayed them from this counsell, and commanded that they that coulde swimme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and goe out to land:
27:44	And the other, some on boardes, and some on certaine pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they came all safe to land.


27:1	When it was cocluded that we shuld sayle into Italy they delivered Paul and certayne other presoners vnto one named Iulius an vnder captayne of Cesars soudiars.
27:2	And we entred into a ship of Adramicium and lowsed from lond apoynted to sayle by the costes of Asia one Aristarcus out of Macedonia of the contre of Thessalia beinge with vs.
27:3	And the nexte daye we came to Sidon. And Iulius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberte to goo vnto his frendes and to refresshe him selfe.
27:4	And from thence lanched we and sayled harde by Cypers because the wyndes were contrarye.
27:5	Then sayled we over the see of Cilicia and Pamphylia and came to Myra a cite in Lycia.
27:6	And there ye vnder captayne founde a shippe of Alexander redy to sayle into Italy and put vs therin.
27:7	And when we had sayled slowly many dayes and scace were come over agaynst Gnydon (because the wynde with stode vs) we sayled harde by the costes of Candy over agaynste Salmo
27:8	and with moche worke sayled beyonde yt and came vnto a place called good porte. Nye whervnto was a citie called Lasea.
27:9	When moche tyme was spent and saylinge was now ieoperdeous because also that we had overlonge fasted Paul put them in remembraunce
27:10	and sayde vnto them Syrs I perceave that this vyage wilbe with hurte and moche domage not of the ladynge and ship only: but also of oure lyves.
27:11	Neverthelather the vndercaptayne beleved the governer and the master better then tho thinges which were spoken of Paul.
27:12	And because the haven was not comodius to wynter in many toke counsell to departe thence yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices and there to wynter which is an haven of Candy and servith to the southwest and northwest wynde.
27:13	When the south wynde blewe they supposynge to obtayne their purpose lowsed vnto Asson and sayled paste all Candy.
27:14	But anone after ther arose agaynste their purpose a flawe of wynde out of the northeeste.
27:15	And when the ship was caught and coulde not resist the wynde we let her goo and drave with the wether.
27:16	And we came vnto an yle named Clauda and had moche worke to come by abote
27:17	which they toke vp and vsed helpe vndergerdynge the shippe fearynge lest we shuld have fallen into Syrtes and we let doune a vessell and so were caryed.
27:18	The nexte daye when we were tossed wt an exceadynge tempest they lyghtened ye ship
27:19	and the thyrde daye we cast out with oure awne hondes the tacklynge of the shippe.
27:20	When at the last nether sunne nor starre in many dayes appered and no small tempest laye apon vs all hope that we shuld be saved was then taken awaye.
27:21	Then after longe abstinence Paul stode forth in the myddes of them and sayde: Syrs ye shulde have harkened to me and not have lowsed from Candy nether to have brought vnto vs this harme and losse.
27:22	And nowe I exhorte you to be of good chere. For ther shalbe no losse of eny mas lyfe amonge you save of the ship only.
27:23	For ther stode by me this nyght the angell of God whose I am and whom I serve
27:24	sayinge: feare not Paul for thou must be brought before Cesar. And lo God hath geven vnto the all that sayle with ye.
27:25	Wherfore Syrs be of good chere: for I beleve God that so it shalbe even as it was tolde me.
27:26	How be it we must be cast into a certayne ylonde.
27:27	But when ye fourtethe nyght was come as we were caryed in Adria about mydnyght the shipmen demed that ther appered some countre vnto the:
27:28	and sounded and founde it .xx. feddoms. And when they had gone a lytell further they sounded agayne and founde .xv. feddoms.
27:29	Then fearinge lest they shuld have fallen on some Rocke they cast .iiii. ancres out of the sterne and wysshed for ye daye.
27:30	As the shipmen were about to fle out of the ship and had let doune the bote into the see vnder a coloure as though they wolde have cast ancres out of the forshippe:
27:31	Paul sayd vnto ye vnder captayne and the soudiers: excepte these abyde in the ship ye cannot be safe.
27:32	Then the soudiers cut of the rope of the bote and let it fall awaye.
27:33	And in ye meane tyme betwixt that and daye Paul besought them all to take meate sayinge: this is ye fourtenthe daye that ye have taried and continued fastynge receavinge nothinge at all.
27:34	Wherfore I praye you to take meate: for this no dout is for youre helth: for ther shall not an heere fall fro the heed of eny of you.
27:35	And when he had thus spoke he toke breed and gave thankes to God in presence of the all and brake it and begane to eate.
27:36	Then were they all of good cheare and they also toke meate.
27:37	We were all together in ye ship two hundred thre score and sixtene soules.
27:38	And whe they had eate ynough they lightened ye ship and cast out the wheate into the see.
27:39	Whe yt was daye they knew not ye lande but they spied a certayne haven with a banke into ye which they were mynded (yf yt were possible) to thrust in the ship.
27:40	And when they had taken vp the ancres they comytted them selves vnto the see and lowsed the rudder bondes and hoysed vp ye mayne sayle to the wynde and drue to londe.
27:41	But they chaunsed on a place which had the see on bothe the sydes and thrust in the ship. And the foore parte stucke fast and moved not but ye hynder brake with the violence of the waves.
27:42	The soudears counsell was to kyll ye presoners lest eny of them when he had swome out shulde fle awaye.
27:43	But the vndercaptayne willinge to save Paul kept the from their purpose and commaunded that they yt could swyme shulde cast the selves first in to ye see and scape to londe.
27:44	And the other he comaunded to goo some on bordes and some on broken peces of the ship. And so it came to passe that they came all safe to londe.
