Acts 27:14–29

14 But not long after there ||arose uagainst it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: 17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should vfall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. 18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they wlightened the ship; 19 And the third day we wcast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 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. 21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, xye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from pCrete, and to have gained this rharm and rloss. 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. 23 For ythere zstood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and awhom I serve, 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath bgiven thee all them that sail with thee. 25 Wherefore, sirs, cbe of good cheer: dfor I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 26 Howbeit ewe must be fcast upon a certain island.

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; 28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 29 Then fearing lest we should have ffallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
