¹³And when^* a southwest wind began to blow gently, because they^* thought they could accomplish their purpose, they weighed anchor and^* sailed close along Crete. ¹⁴But not long afterward a wind like a hurricane, called the northeaster,^h rushed down from it.ⁱ ¹⁵And when^* the ship was caught and was not able to head into the wind, we gave way and^* were driven along. ¹⁶And running under the lee of a certain small island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to get the ship’s boat under control. ¹⁷After^* hoisting it up,^j they made use of supports to undergird the ship. And because they^* were afraid lest they run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and^* thus were driven along. ¹⁸And because^* we were violently battered by the storm, on the next day they began^k jettisoning the cargo,^* ¹⁹and on the third day they threw overboard the gear of the ship with their own hands. ²⁰But when^* neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and with not a little bad weather confronting us,^* finally all hope was abandoned that we would be saved.

²¹And because^* many were experiencing lack of appetite, at that time Paul stood up in their midst and^* said, “Men, you ought to have followed my advice not to put out to sea from Crete, and thus avoided this damage and loss! ²²And now I urge you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life from among you, but only of the ship. ²³For this night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve came to me, ²⁴saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar, and behold, God has graciously granted you all who are sailing with you.’ ²⁵Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will be like this—according to the^l way it was told to me. ²⁶But it is necessary that we run aground on some island.”
