27:12. 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.
27:13. And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had
obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed
close by Crete.
27:14. But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
called Euroaquilo.
27:15. And when the ship was caught and could not bear up against the
wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
27:16. And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had
much work to come by the boat.
27:17. 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.

lightened the ship.

small storms lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
27:21. 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.
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 only of the ship.
27:23. For an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me
this night,
27:24. Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and
behold, 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 so be, as it hath been told me.
27:26. And we must come unto a certain island.
27:27. But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in
Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some
country.
27:28. Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms: and going on a little
further, they found fifteen fathoms.
27:29. Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast
four anchors out of the stern: and wished for the day.
27:30. 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,
27:31. Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Except these stay
in the ship, you cannot be saved.
27:32. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall
off.
27:33. 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.
27:34. 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.
27:35. And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks
to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to
eat.
