CHAPTER 27. And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they deliver ed Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus band.
 2. And entering into a ship of Adra- myttium. we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia: one Arls- tarchus, a Macedonian of The6saloni- ca, being with us.
 8. And the next day we touched at Sldon And Julius courtaously en- treated Paul, and gave him liberty to so unto his friends to refresh him. self.
 4. And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
 ,. And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
 G. And there the centurion found ship Of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
 T. 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; 8. And, hardly passing it. came unto g place which is called The fair | havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
 | 9. Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10. And said unto them, Sirs, I per- ceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage. not only of the lading and ship but also of our lives.
 ii. Nevertheless the centurion be- ]jeved the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
 12. And because the haven was not ccmmodious 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.
 13. And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtain cd their purpose. loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete IA But not long after there arose against it tempestuous wind, called Eurcclydon.
 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 is land which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
 IF. Which Wh5n they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strale sail, and so were driven. IS. And we being exceedingly toss ed with a. tempest, the next day they frightened the ship; 19. And they third day we cast out with our oWl 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 tho midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearKened unto me, and not have loosed from CreteJ and to have gained this harm and loss.
 g. And now i exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be nc loss of any mans life among you, but of the ship.
 23. Fer there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose l am, and whom I serve,
 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thon must be brought before Caesar: and, To, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
 25. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for 1 believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 26. HowDeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
 27. But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and , down in Adria, about midnight tlN shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country: 2S. And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had
 gone little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathonls. , 29. Then fearing lest We should , have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 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 31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in

 32. Then the soldiers cut off the
 ropes of the boat and let her fall eff.
