1 When|strong="G1161" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" decided|strong="G2919" that|strong="G3588" we|strong="G2249" would|strong="G2532" sail to|strong="G1519" Italy|strong="G2482", they|strong="G2532" transferred Paul|strong="G3972" and|strong="G2532" some|strong="G5100" other|strong="G2087" prisoners|strong="G1202" to|strong="G1519" a|strong="G5613" centurion|strong="G1543" named|strong="G3686" Julius|strong="G2457", of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Augustan|strong="G4575" Cohort|strong="G4686".
2 We|strong="G2249" got on|strong="G1519" board a|strong="G1519" ship|strong="G4143" of|strong="G2596" Adramyttium and|strong="G1161" put|strong="G1519" out|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" sea, intending|strong="G3195" to|strong="G1519" sail|strong="G4126" by|strong="G2596" the|strong="G1519" ports along|strong="G4862" the|strong="G1519" coast|strong="G2596" of|strong="G2596" Asia|strong="G3588". With|strong="G4862" us|strong="G1519" was|strong="G1510" Aristarchus, a|strong="G1519" Macedonian|strong="G3110" of|strong="G2596" Thessalonica|strong="G2331".
3 The|strong="G1519" next|strong="G2087" day|strong="G3588" we|strong="G4314" put|strong="G2609" in|strong="G1519" at|strong="G1519" Sidon|strong="G4605", and|strong="G5037" Julius|strong="G2457" treated|strong="G5530" Paul|strong="G3972" kindly|strong="G5364", allowing him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" go|strong="G4198" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" friends|strong="G5384" and|strong="G5037" receive|strong="G5177" care|strong="G1958".
4 From|strong="G3588" there|strong="G2547" we|strong="G1510" put out|strong="G1223" to|strong="G1510" sea and|strong="G3588" sailed|strong="G5284" under|strong="G5284" the|strong="G1223" lee of|strong="G1223" Cyprus|strong="G2954", because|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1223" winds were|strong="G1510" against|strong="G1727" us.
5 After|strong="G2596" sailing across the|strong="G2532" open sea|strong="G3989" off|strong="G2596" Cilicia|strong="G2791" and|strong="G2532" Pamphylia|strong="G3828", we|strong="G2532" arrived|strong="G2718" at|strong="G1519" Myra|strong="G3460" of|strong="G2532" Lycia|strong="G3073".
6 There|strong="G2546" the|strong="G1519" centurion|strong="G1543" found|strong="G2147" an|strong="G1519" Alexandrian ship|strong="G4143" that|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" sailing|strong="G4126" to|strong="G1519" Italy|strong="G2482" and|strong="G3588" put|strong="G1688" us|strong="G1519" on|strong="G1519" board.
7 We|strong="G2249" sailed|strong="G5284" along|strong="G2532" slowly|strong="G1020" for|strong="G1161" many|strong="G2425" days|strong="G2250" and|strong="G2532" arrived|strong="G1096" with|strong="G1722" difficulty|strong="G3433" off|strong="G2596" Cnidus|strong="G2834". When|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" wind did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" allow us|strong="G2249" to|strong="G2532" hold|strong="G2249" our|strong="G2532" course, we|strong="G2249" sailed|strong="G5284" under|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" lee of|strong="G2250" Crete|strong="G2914" off|strong="G2596" Salmone|strong="G4534".
8 Sailing|strong="G3881" along|strong="G3881" the|strong="G1519" coast|strong="G5117" with|strong="G1519" difficulty|strong="G3433", we|strong="G3739" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" a|strong="G1519" place|strong="G5117" called|strong="G2564" Fair|strong="G2570" Havens, which|strong="G3739" was|strong="G1510" near|strong="G1451" the|strong="G1519" city|strong="G4172" of|strong="G5100" Lasea|strong="G2996".
9 Since|strong="G1223" much|strong="G2425" time|strong="G5550" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G1510" lost and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" voyage|strong="G4144" had|strong="G2532" now|strong="G1161" become|strong="G1510" dangerous|strong="G2000" because|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" Fast|strong="G3521" was|strong="G1510" already|strong="G2235" over|strong="G3928", Paul|strong="G3972" advised|strong="G3867" the|strong="G2532" ship's officers,
10 “Men|strong="G3588", I|strong="G1473" perceive|strong="G2334" that|strong="G3754" this|strong="G3588" voyage|strong="G4144" is|strong="G1510" going|strong="G3195" to|strong="G2532" result in|strong="G2532" damage|strong="G5196" and|strong="G2532" great|strong="G4183" loss|strong="G2209", not|strong="G3756" only|strong="G3440" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" cargo|strong="G5413" and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G4143", but|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" lives|strong="G5590".”
11 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" centurion|strong="G1543" was|strong="G3588" persuaded|strong="G3982" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G3490"'s captain|strong="G3490" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" shipowner rather|strong="G3123" than|strong="G2228" by|strong="G5259" what|strong="G3588" Paul|strong="G3972" said|strong="G3004".
12 Because|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" harbor|strong="G3040" was|strong="G3588" not|strong="G1410" a|strong="G2532" suitable|strong="G3588" place|strong="G5087" for|strong="G1519" spending the|strong="G2532" winter|strong="G3914", the|strong="G2532" majority|strong="G4183" made|strong="G5087" a|strong="G2532" decision|strong="G1012" to|strong="G1519" set|strong="G5087" sail from|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532", hoping to|strong="G1519" somehow|strong="G1513" reach|strong="G2658" Phoenix|strong="G5405", a|strong="G2532" harbor|strong="G3040" of|strong="G2532" Crete|strong="G2914" facing southwest|strong="G3047" and|strong="G2532" northwest|strong="G5566", so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" we|strong="G2532" could|strong="G1410" spend|strong="G3914" the|strong="G2532" winter|strong="G3914" there|strong="G2532".
13 When|strong="G1161" a|strong="G1161" south|strong="G3558" wind|strong="G3558" started blowing gently, they|strong="G1161" thought|strong="G1380" that|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" opportunity had|strong="G3588" come for|strong="G1161" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1161" carry out their|strong="G3588" plan. So|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" weighed anchor and|strong="G1161" sailed|strong="G3881" closely along|strong="G3881" the|strong="G1161" shore of|strong="G3588" Crete|strong="G2914".
14 But|strong="G1161" before|strong="G2596" long|strong="G4183", a|strong="G1161" hurricane-force wind called|strong="G2564" Euroclydon|strong="G2148" swept down|strong="G2596" from|strong="G2596" the|strong="G1161" island.
15 When|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G4143" was|strong="G3588" caught|strong="G4884" by|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" storm and|strong="G2532" could|strong="G1410" not|strong="G3361" head into the|strong="G2532" wind, we|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G2532" way|strong="G1929" to|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" driven|strong="G5342" along|strong="G2532".
16 Running|strong="G5295" under|strong="G5295" the|strong="G1161" lee of|strong="G5100" a|strong="G1096" small|strong="G3519" island|strong="G3519" called|strong="G2564" Clauda|strong="G2802", we|strong="G1161" were|strong="G3588" able|strong="G2480" with|strong="G3588" difficulty|strong="G3433" to|strong="G1096" secure the|strong="G1161" skiff.
17 After|strong="G3739" hoisting it|strong="G3739" up|strong="G1519", the|strong="G1519" sailors used|strong="G5530" supports to|strong="G1519" undergird the|strong="G1519" ship|strong="G4143". Then|strong="G5037", fearing|strong="G5399" they|strong="G3588" might run|strong="G1601" aground|strong="G1601" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" Syrtis|strong="G4950", they|strong="G3588" lowered the|strong="G1519" gear, and|strong="G5037" in|strong="G1519" this|strong="G3588" manner|strong="G3779" the|strong="G1519" ship|strong="G4143" was|strong="G3588" driven|strong="G5342" along|strong="G5037".
18 The|strong="G1161" next|strong="G1836" day|strong="G1836", because|strong="G1161" we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G3588" being|strong="G1161" severely battered by|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" storm, the|strong="G1161" sailors began|strong="G1161" throwing the|strong="G1161" cargo|strong="G1546" overboard.
19 On|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" third|strong="G5154" day|strong="G3588" we|strong="G2532" threw|strong="G4496" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G4143"'s tackle|strong="G4631" overboard|strong="G4496" with|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" own hands.
20 When|strong="G1161" neither|strong="G3756" sun|strong="G2246" nor|strong="G3383" stars appeared|strong="G2014" for|strong="G1909" many|strong="G4183" days|strong="G2250", and|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3956" violent storm|strong="G5494" continued to|strong="G1909" rage, all|strong="G3956" hope|strong="G1680" that|strong="G3588" we|strong="G2249" might|strong="G1680" be|strong="G3756" saved|strong="G4982" was|strong="G3588" lost.
21 Since|strong="G5119" there|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" little desire to|strong="G2532" eat, Paul|strong="G3972" stood|strong="G2476" up|strong="G2476" among|strong="G1722" them|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “Men|strong="G3778", you|strong="G1722" should|strong="G1163" have|strong="G2532" listened to|strong="G2532" my|strong="G1722" advice|strong="G3980" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G2532" set|strong="G2476" sail from|strong="G2532" Crete|strong="G2914"; then|strong="G2532" you|strong="G1722" would|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" spared yourselves|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3778" damage|strong="G5196" and|strong="G2532" loss|strong="G2209".
22 But|strong="G2532" now|strong="G3568" I|strong="G2532" advise you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" of|strong="G1537" good|strong="G3588" cheer|strong="G2114", for|strong="G1063" there|strong="G2532" will|strong="G1510" be|strong="G1510" no|strong="G3762" loss of|strong="G1537" life|strong="G5590" among|strong="G1537" you|strong="G5210", but|strong="G2532" only|strong="G2532" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G4143".
23 For|strong="G1063" this|strong="G3778" very|strong="G2532" night|strong="G3571" an|strong="G2532" angel of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" to|strong="G2532" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" belong|strong="G1510" and|strong="G2532" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" serve|strong="G3000" stood|strong="G3936" beside|strong="G3936" me|strong="G1473"
24 and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘Do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" be|strong="G2532" afraid|strong="G5399", Paul|strong="G3972"; yoʋ must|strong="G1163" stand|strong="G3936" before|strong="G3936" Caesar|strong="G2541". And|strong="G2532" behold|strong="G2400", God|strong="G2316" has|strong="G2316" granted|strong="G5483" yoʋ the|strong="G2532" safety of|strong="G2316" all|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" sailing|strong="G4126" with|strong="G3326" yoʋ.’
25 Therefore|strong="G1352" be|strong="G1510" of|strong="G2316" good|strong="G3588" cheer|strong="G2114", men|strong="G3588", for|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1473" faith|strong="G3739" in|strong="G2596" God|strong="G2316" that|strong="G3754" it|strong="G3754" will|strong="G2316" happen|strong="G1510" just|strong="G2596" as|strong="G2596" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1473" been|strong="G1510" told|strong="G2980".
26 But|strong="G1161" we|strong="G2249" must|strong="G1163" run|strong="G1601" aground|strong="G1601" on|strong="G1519" some|strong="G5100" island|strong="G3520".”
27 When|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" fourteenth|strong="G5065" night|strong="G3571" had|strong="G3588" come|strong="G1096", as|strong="G5613" we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G3588" being|strong="G1096" driven|strong="G1308" across|strong="G1308" the|strong="G1722" Adriatic Sea, about|strong="G5613" midnight|strong="G3319" the|strong="G1722" sailors|strong="G3492" suspected|strong="G5282" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G1161" were|strong="G3588" approaching|strong="G4317" some|strong="G5100" land|strong="G5561".
28 So|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" took|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" sounding|strong="G1001" and|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" it|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" twenty|strong="G1501" fathoms|strong="G3712". After|strong="G1161" going|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" little|strong="G1024" farther|strong="G1339", they|strong="G2532" took|strong="G2532" another|strong="G3825" sounding|strong="G1001" and|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" it|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" fifteen|strong="G1178" fathoms|strong="G3712".
29 Fearing|strong="G5399" that|strong="G1096" we|strong="G2250" might|strong="G1096" run|strong="G1601" aground|strong="G1601" on|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" rocks|strong="G5138", they|strong="G5037" let|strong="G1096" down|strong="G2596" four|strong="G5064" anchors from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" stern|strong="G4403" and|strong="G5037" prayed for|strong="G1537" daybreak|strong="G2250" to|strong="G2596" come|strong="G1096".
30 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sailors|strong="G3492" tried|strong="G2212" to|strong="G1519" escape|strong="G5343" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G4143" by|strong="G1537" lowering the|strong="G2532" skiff into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" sea|strong="G2281" under|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" pretense|strong="G4392" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" going|strong="G3195" to|strong="G1519" lay|strong="G1614" out|strong="G1537" anchors from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" bow|strong="G4408".
31 So|strong="G2532" Paul|strong="G3972" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" centurion|strong="G1543" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" soldiers|strong="G4757", “If|strong="G1437" these|strong="G3778" men|strong="G3778" do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" remain|strong="G3306" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" ship|strong="G4143" you|strong="G5210" cannot|strong="G1410" be|strong="G2532" saved|strong="G4982".”
32 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" soldiers|strong="G4757" cut|strong="G2532" away|strong="G1601" the|strong="G2532" ropes|strong="G4979" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" skiff and|strong="G2532" let|strong="G1439" it|strong="G2532" drift away|strong="G1601".
33 When|strong="G1161" daybreak|strong="G2250" was|strong="G1096" about|strong="G3195" to|strong="G3004" come|strong="G1096", Paul|strong="G3972" encouraged|strong="G3870" them|strong="G3588" all|strong="G1161" to|strong="G3004" take|strong="G1096" some|strong="G3739" food|strong="G5160", saying|strong="G3004", “Today|strong="G4594" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" fourteenth|strong="G5065" day|strong="G2250" that|strong="G3739" you|strong="G3739" have|strong="G3195" continued|strong="G1096" in|strong="G1096" suspense without|strong="G3367" eating, having taken|strong="G1096" nothing|strong="G3367".
34 Therefore|strong="G1352" I|strong="G1063" urge|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G4314" take|strong="G3335" some|strong="G3588" food|strong="G5160", for|strong="G1063" this|strong="G3778" is|strong="G3588" important for|strong="G1063" your|strong="G5212" survival|strong="G4991", since|strong="G1063" not|strong="G3762" a|strong="G4314" hair|strong="G2359" will|strong="G3778" fall from|strong="G3588" the|strong="G4314" head|strong="G2776" of|strong="G2776" any|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762" of|strong="G2776" you|strong="G5210".”
35 After|strong="G1161" saying|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778", Paul|strong="G2983" took|strong="G2983" some|strong="G3588" bread and|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G2532" thanks|strong="G2168" to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" presence|strong="G1799" of|strong="G2316" them|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956". Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" broke|strong="G2806" it|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" began|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G2068".
36 They|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1096" all|strong="G3956" encouraged|strong="G2115" and|strong="G2532" took|strong="G4355" food|strong="G5160" themselves.
37 (Altogether there|strong="G1161" were|strong="G1510" two|strong="G1250" hundred|strong="G1250" seventy-six|strong="G1440" of|strong="G1722" us|strong="G1722" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" ship|strong="G4143".)
38 When|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" had|strong="G3588" eaten|strong="G2880" their|strong="G1519" fill|strong="G1519" of|strong="G2281" food|strong="G5160", they|strong="G1161" began|strong="G1161" to|strong="G1519" lighten|strong="G2893" the|strong="G1519" ship|strong="G4143" by|strong="G1519" throwing|strong="G1544" the|strong="G1519" wheat|strong="G4621" out|strong="G1544" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" sea|strong="G2281".
39 When|strong="G3753" daybreak|strong="G2250" came|strong="G1096", the|strong="G1519" sailors did|strong="G1096" not|strong="G3756" recognize|strong="G1921" the|strong="G1519" land|strong="G1093". But|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" noticed a|strong="G2192" bay|strong="G2859" with|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2192" beach and|strong="G1161" decided|strong="G1096" that|strong="G3739", if|strong="G1487" possible|strong="G1410", they|strong="G1161" would|strong="G1096" run the|strong="G1519" ship|strong="G4143" ashore|strong="G1093" there|strong="G1161".
40 So|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" cut|strong="G2532" away|strong="G4014" the|strong="G2532" anchors and|strong="G2532" left|strong="G1439" them|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" sea|strong="G2281", at|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G2532" time loosening the|strong="G2532" bands|strong="G2202" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rudders|strong="G4079". Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" hoisted the|strong="G2532" foresail up|strong="G1869" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" blowing|strong="G4154" wind|strong="G4154" and|strong="G2532" made|strong="G2722" for|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" beach.
41 But|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" struck a|strong="G2532" sandbar and|strong="G2532" ran|strong="G2027" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G4403" aground|strong="G2027". The|strong="G2532" bow|strong="G4408" stuck|strong="G2043" fast|strong="G2043" and|strong="G2532" remained|strong="G3306" immovable, and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" stern|strong="G4403" was|strong="G3588" being|strong="G2532" broken|strong="G3089" apart by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" force of|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" waves.
42 The|strong="G1161" soldiers|strong="G4757"' plan|strong="G1012" was|strong="G1096" to|strong="G2443" kill the|strong="G1161" prisoners|strong="G1202", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" none|strong="G3361" of|strong="G5100" them|strong="G3588" would|strong="G1096" swim|strong="G1579" away|strong="G1579" and|strong="G1161" escape|strong="G1309".
43 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" centurion|strong="G1543", wishing|strong="G1014" to|strong="G1909" save|strong="G1295" Paul|strong="G3972"'s life|strong="G1295", kept|strong="G2967" them|strong="G3588" from|strong="G3588" carrying out|strong="G1438" their|strong="G1438" plan. So|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" ordered|strong="G2753" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" could|strong="G1410" swim|strong="G2860" to|strong="G1909" jump overboard first|strong="G4413" and|strong="G1161" get|strong="G1826" to|strong="G1909" land|strong="G1093",
44 and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rest|strong="G3062" were|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" follow|strong="G1161", some|strong="G5100" on|strong="G1909" planks|strong="G4548" and|strong="G2532" some|strong="G5100" on|strong="G1909" pieces of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" ship|strong="G4143". And|strong="G2532" so|strong="G3779" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" that|strong="G3739" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956" brought|strong="G1295" safely|strong="G1295" to|strong="G2532" land|strong="G1093".
