Acts 27

GNT

1 ὡς δὲ ἐκρίθη τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἰταλίαν, παρεδίδουν τόν τε παῦλον καί τινας ἑτέρους δεσμώτας ἑκατοντάρχῃ ὀνόματι ἰουλίῳ σπείρης σεβαστῆς.

2 ἐπιβάντες δὲ πλοίῳ ἀδραμυττηνῶ μέλλοντι πλεῖν εἰς τοὺς κατὰ τὴν ἀσίαν τόπους ἀνήχθημεν, ὄντος σὺν ἡμῖν ἀριστάρχου μακεδόνος θεσσαλονικέως·

3 τῇ τε ἑτέρᾳ κατήχθημεν εἰς σιδῶνα, φιλανθρώπως τε ὁ ἰούλιος τῶ παύλῳ χρησάμενος ἐπέτρεψεν πρὸς τοὺς φίλους πορευθέντι ἐπιμελείας τυχεῖν.

4 κἀκεῖθεν ἀναχθέντες ὑπεπλεύσαμεν τὴν κύπρον διὰ τὸ τοὺς ἀνέμους εἶναι ἐναντίους,

5 τό τε πέλαγος τὸ κατὰ τὴν κιλικίαν καὶ παμφυλίαν διαπλεύσαντες κατήλθομεν εἰς μύρα τῆς λυκίας.

6 κἀκεῖ εὑρὼν ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης πλοῖον ἀλεξανδρῖνον πλέον εἰς τὴν ἰταλίαν ἐνεβίβασεν ἡμᾶς εἰς αὐτό.

7 ἐν ἱκαναῖς δὲ ἡμέραις βραδυπλοοῦντες καὶ μόλις γενόμενοι κατὰ τὴν κνίδον, μὴ προσεῶντος ἡμᾶς τοῦ ἀνέμου, ὑπεπλεύσαμεν τὴν κρήτην κατὰ σαλμώνην,

8 μόλις τε παραλεγόμενοι αὐτὴν ἤλθομεν εἰς τόπον τινὰ καλούμενον καλοὺς λιμένας, ᾧ ἐγγὺς πόλις ἦν λασαία.

9 ἱκανοῦ δὲ χρόνου διαγενομένου καὶ ὄντος ἤδη ἐπισφαλοῦς τοῦ πλοὸς διὰ τὸ καὶ τὴν νηστείαν ἤδη παρεληλυθέναι, παρῄνει ὁ παῦλος

10 λέγων αὐτοῖς, ἄνδρες, θεωρῶ ὅτι μετὰ ὕβρεως καὶ πολλῆς ζημίας οὐ μόνον τοῦ φορτίου καὶ τοῦ πλοίου ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν μέλλειν ἔσεσθαι τὸν πλοῦν.

11 ὁ δὲ ἑκατοντάρχης τῶ κυβερνήτῃ καὶ τῶ ναυκλήρῳ μᾶλλον ἐπείθετο ἢ τοῖς ὑπὸ παύλου λεγομένοις.

12 ἀνευθέτου δὲ τοῦ λιμένος ὑπάρχοντος πρὸς παραχειμασίαν οἱ πλείονες ἔθεντο βουλὴν ἀναχθῆναι ἐκεῖθεν, εἴ πως δύναιντο καταντήσαντες εἰς φοίνικα παραχειμάσαι, λιμένα τῆς κρήτης βλέποντα κατὰ λίβα καὶ κατὰ χῶρον.

13 ὑποπνεύσαντος δὲ νότου δόξαντες τῆς προθέσεως κεκρατηκέναι, ἄραντες ἆσσον παρελέγοντο τὴν κρήτην.

14 μετ᾽ οὐ πολὺ δὲ ἔβαλεν κατ᾽ αὐτῆς ἄνεμος τυφωνικὸς ὁ καλούμενος εὐρακύλων·

15 συναρπασθέντος δὲ τοῦ πλοίου καὶ μὴ δυναμένου ἀντοφθαλμεῖν τῶ ἀνέμῳ ἐπιδόντες ἐφερόμεθα.

16 νησίον δέ τι ὑποδραμόντες καλούμενον καῦδα ἰσχύσαμεν μόλις περικρατεῖς γενέσθαι τῆς σκάφης,

17 ἣν ἄραντες βοηθείαις ἐχρῶντο ὑποζωννύντες τὸ πλοῖον· φοβούμενοί τε μὴ εἰς τὴν σύρτιν ἐκπέσωσιν, χαλάσαντες τὸ σκεῦος, οὕτως ἐφέροντο.

18 σφοδρῶς δὲ χειμαζομένων ἡμῶν τῇ ἑξῆς ἐκβολὴν ἐποιοῦντο,

19 καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ αὐτόχειρες τὴν σκευὴν τοῦ πλοίου ἔρριψαν.

20 μήτε δὲ ἡλίου μήτε ἄστρων ἐπιφαινόντων ἐπὶ πλείονας ἡμέρας, χειμῶνός τε οὐκ ὀλίγου ἐπικειμένου, λοιπὸν περιῃρεῖτο ἐλπὶς πᾶσα τοῦ σῴζεσθαι ἡμᾶς.

21 πολλῆς τε ἀσιτίας ὑπαρχούσης τότε σταθεὶς ὁ παῦλος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἶπεν, ἔδει μέν, ὦ ἄνδρες, πειθαρχήσαντάς μοι μὴ ἀνάγεσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς κρήτης κερδῆσαί τε τὴν ὕβριν ταύτην καὶ τὴν ζημίαν.

22 καὶ τὰ νῦν παραινῶ ὑμᾶς εὐθυμεῖν, ἀποβολὴ γὰρ ψυχῆς οὐδεμία ἔσται ἐξ ὑμῶν πλὴν τοῦ πλοίου·

23 παρέστη γάρ μοι ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ τοῦ θεοῦ οὖ εἰμι [ἐγώ], ᾧ καὶ λατρεύω, ἄγγελος

24 λέγων, μὴ φοβοῦ, παῦλε· καίσαρί σε δεῖ παραστῆναι, καὶ ἰδοὺ κεχάρισταί σοι ὁ θεὸς πάντας τοὺς πλέοντας μετὰ σοῦ.

25 διὸ εὐθυμεῖτε, ἄνδρες· πιστεύω γὰρ τῶ θεῶ ὅτι οὕτως ἔσται καθ᾽ ὃν τρόπον λελάληταί μοι.

26 εἰς νῆσον δέ τινα δεῖ ἡμᾶς ἐκπεσεῖν.

27 ὡς δὲ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτη νὺξ ἐγένετο διαφερομένων ἡμῶν ἐν τῶ ἀδρίᾳ, κατὰ μέσον τῆς νυκτὸς ὑπενόουν οἱ ναῦται προσάγειν τινὰ αὐτοῖς χώραν.

28 καὶ βολίσαντες εὖρον ὀργυιὰς εἴκοσι, βραχὺ δὲ διαστήσαντες καὶ πάλιν βολίσαντες εὖρον ὀργυιὰς δεκαπέντε·

29 φοβούμενοί τε μή που κατὰ τραχεῖς τόπους ἐκπέσωμεν, ἐκ πρύμνης ῥίψαντες ἀγκύρας τέσσαρας ηὔχοντο ἡμέραν γενέσθαι.

30 τῶν δὲ ναυτῶν ζητούντων φυγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου καὶ χαλασάντων τὴν σκάφην εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν προφάσει ὡς ἐκ πρῴρης ἀγκύρας μελλόντων ἐκτείνειν,

31 εἶπεν ὁ παῦλος τῶ ἑκατοντάρχῃ καὶ τοῖς στρατιώταις, ἐὰν μὴ οὖτοι μείνωσιν ἐν τῶ πλοίῳ, ὑμεῖς σωθῆναι οὐ δύνασθε.

32 τότε ἀπέκοψαν οἱ στρατιῶται τὰ σχοινία τῆς σκάφης καὶ εἴασαν αὐτὴν ἐκπεσεῖν.

33 ἄχρι δὲ οὖ ἡμέρα ἤμελλεν γίνεσθαι παρεκάλει ὁ παῦλος ἅπαντας μεταλαβεῖν τροφῆς λέγων, τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτην σήμερον ἡμέραν προσδοκῶντες ἄσιτοι διατελεῖτε, μηθὲν προσλαβόμενοι·

34 διὸ παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς μεταλαβεῖν τροφῆς, τοῦτο γὰρ πρὸς τῆς ὑμετέρας σωτηρίας ὑπάρχει· οὐδενὸς γὰρ ὑμῶν θρὶξ ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἀπολεῖται.

35 εἴπας δὲ ταῦτα καὶ λαβὼν ἄρτον εὐχαρίστησεν τῶ θεῶ ἐνώπιον πάντων καὶ κλάσας ἤρξατο ἐσθίειν.

36 εὔθυμοι δὲ γενόμενοι πάντες καὶ αὐτοὶ προσελάβοντο τροφῆς.

37 ἤμεθα δὲ αἱ πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ ἐν τῶ πλοίῳ διακόσιαι ἑβδομήκοντα ἕξ.

38 κορεσθέντες δὲ τροφῆς ἐκούφιζον τὸ πλοῖον ἐκβαλλόμενοι τὸν σῖτον εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν.

39 ὅτε δὲ ἡμέρα ἐγένετο, τὴν γῆν οὐκ ἐπεγίνωσκον, κόλπον δέ τινα κατενόουν ἔχοντα αἰγιαλὸν εἰς ὃν ἐβουλεύοντο εἰ δύναιντο ἐξῶσαι τὸ πλοῖον.

40 καὶ τὰς ἀγκύρας περιελόντες εἴων εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἅμα ἀνέντες τὰς ζευκτηρίας τῶν πηδαλίων, καὶ ἐπάραντες τὸν ἀρτέμωνα τῇ πνεούσῃ κατεῖχον εἰς τὸν αἰγιαλόν.

41 περιπεσόντες δὲ εἰς τόπον διθάλασσον ἐπέκειλαν τὴν ναῦν, καὶ ἡ μὲν πρῶρα ἐρείσασα ἔμεινεν ἀσάλευτος, ἡ δὲ πρύμνα ἐλύετο ὑπὸ τῆς βίας [τῶν κυμάτων].

42 τῶν δὲ στρατιωτῶν βουλὴ ἐγένετο ἵνα τοὺς δεσμώτας ἀποκτείνωσιν, μή τις ἐκκολυμβήσας διαφύγῃ·

43 ὁ δὲ ἑκατοντάρχης βουλόμενος διασῶσαι τὸν παῦλον ἐκώλυσεν αὐτοὺς τοῦ βουλήματος, ἐκέλευσέν τε τοὺς δυναμένους κολυμβᾶν ἀπορίψαντας πρώτους ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐξιέναι,

44 καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς οὓς μὲν ἐπὶ σανίσιν οὓς δὲ ἐπί τινων τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου· καὶ οὕτως ἐγένετο πάντας διασωθῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

1  And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ it was determined²⁹¹⁹ that we²²⁴⁸ should sail⁶³⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ Italy,²⁴⁸² they delivered^{3860 5037} Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² certain⁵¹⁰⁰ other²⁰⁸⁷ prisoners¹²⁰² unto one named³⁶⁸⁶ Julius,²⁴⁵⁷ a centurion¹⁵⁴³ of Augustus'⁴⁵⁷⁵ band.⁴⁶⁸⁶

2  And¹¹⁶¹ entering into¹⁹¹⁰ a ship⁴¹⁴³ of Adramyttium,⁹⁸ we launched,³²¹ meaning³¹⁹⁵ to sail⁴¹²⁶ by the³⁵⁸⁸ coasts⁵¹¹⁷ of²⁵⁹⁶ Asia;⁷⁷³ one Aristarchus,⁷⁰⁸ a Macedonian³¹¹⁰ of Thessalonica,²³³¹ being⁵⁶⁰⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² us.²²⁵⁴

3  And⁵⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ next²⁰⁸⁷ day we touched²⁶⁰⁹ at¹⁵¹⁹ Sidon.⁴⁶⁰⁵ And⁵⁰³⁷ Julius²⁴⁵⁷ courteously⁵³⁶⁴ entreated⁵⁵³⁰ Paul,³⁹⁷² and gave him liberty²⁰¹⁰ to go⁴¹⁹⁸ unto⁴³¹⁴ his friends⁵³⁸⁴ to refresh himself.^{5177 1958}

4  And when we had launched from thence,^{2547 321} we sailed under⁵²⁸⁴ Cyprus,²⁹⁵⁴ because the³⁵⁸⁸ winds⁴¹⁷ were¹⁵¹¹ contrary.¹⁷²⁷

5  And⁵⁰³⁷ when we had sailed over¹²⁷⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea³⁹⁸⁹ of²⁵⁹⁶ Cilicia²⁷⁹¹ and²⁵³² Pamphylia,³⁸²⁸ we came²⁷¹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Myra,³⁴⁶⁰ a city of Lycia.³⁰⁷³

6  And there²⁵⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ found²¹⁴⁷ a ship⁴¹⁴³ of Alexandria²²² sailing⁴¹²⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ Italy;²⁴⁸² and he put¹⁶⁸⁸ us²²⁴⁸ therein.^{1519 846}

7  And¹¹⁶¹ when we had sailed slowly¹⁰²⁰ many²⁴²⁵ days,²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² scarce³⁴³³ were come¹⁰⁹⁶ over against²⁵⁹⁶ Cnidus,²⁸³⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ wind⁴¹⁷ not³³⁶¹ suffering⁴³³⁰ us,²²⁴⁸ we sailed under⁵²⁸⁴ Crete,²⁹¹⁴ over against²⁵⁹⁶ Salmone;⁴⁵³⁴

8  And,⁵⁰³⁷ hardly³⁴³³ passing³⁸⁸¹ it,⁸⁴⁶ came²⁰⁶⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ a⁵¹⁰⁰ place⁵¹¹⁷ which is called²⁵⁶⁴ The fair²⁵⁶⁸ havens; nigh¹⁴⁵¹ whereunto³⁷³⁹ was²²⁵⁸ the city⁴¹⁷² of Lasea.²⁹⁹⁶

9  Now¹¹⁶¹ when much²⁴²⁵ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ was spent,¹²³⁰ and²⁵³² when sailing⁴¹⁴⁴ was⁵⁶⁰⁷ now²²³⁵ dangerous,²⁰⁰⁰ because²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ fast³⁵²¹ was now already past,^{3928 2235} Paul³⁹⁷² admonished³⁸⁶⁷ them,

10  And said³⁰⁰⁴ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Sirs,⁴³⁵ I perceive²³³⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ this voyage⁴¹⁴⁴ will³¹⁹⁵ be¹⁵¹⁰ with³³²⁶ hurt⁵¹⁹⁶ and²⁵³² much⁴¹⁸³ damage,²²⁰⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ only³⁴⁴⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ lading⁵⁴¹⁴ and²⁵³² ship,⁴¹⁴³ but²³⁵ also²⁵³² of our²²⁵⁷ lives.⁵⁵⁹⁰

11  Nevertheless¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ believed³⁹⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ master²⁹⁴² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ owner of the ship,³⁴⁹⁰ more³¹²³ than²²²⁸ those things which were spoken³⁰⁰⁴ by⁵²⁵⁹ Paul.³⁹⁷²

12  And¹¹⁶¹ because the³⁵⁸⁸ haven³⁰⁴⁰ was⁵²²⁵ not commodious⁴²⁸ to⁴³¹⁴ winter in,³⁹¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ more part⁴¹¹⁹ advised^{5087 1012} to depart³²¹ thence also,²⁵⁴⁷ if by any means¹⁵¹³ they might¹⁴¹⁰ attain²⁶⁵⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Phenice,⁵⁴⁰⁵ and there to winter;³⁹¹⁴ which is an haven³⁰⁴⁰ of Crete,²⁹¹⁴ and lieth⁹⁹¹ toward²⁵⁹⁶ the southwest³⁰⁴⁷ and²⁵³² northwest.⁵⁵⁶⁶

13  And¹¹⁶¹ when the south wind³⁵⁵⁸ blew softly,⁵²⁸⁵ supposing¹³⁸⁰ that they had obtained²⁹⁰² their purpose,⁴²⁸⁶ loosing^{142 788} thence, they sailed close by³⁸⁸¹ Crete.²⁹¹⁴

14  But¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ long⁴¹⁸³ after³³²⁶ there arose⁹⁰⁶ against²⁵⁹⁶ it⁸⁴⁶ a tempestuous⁵¹⁸⁹ wind,⁴¹⁷ called²⁵⁶⁴ Euroclydon.²¹⁴⁸

15  And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ ship⁴¹⁴³ was caught,⁴⁸⁸⁴ and²⁵³² could¹⁴¹⁰ not³³⁶¹ bear up⁵⁰³ into the³⁵⁸⁸ wind,⁴¹⁷ we let her drive.^{1929 5342}

16  And¹¹⁶¹ running under⁵²⁹⁵ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ island³⁵¹⁹ which is called²⁵⁶⁴ Clauda,²⁸⁰² we had much work^{2480 3433} to come by^{1096 4031} the³⁵⁸⁸ boat:⁴⁶²⁷

17  Which³⁷³⁹ when they had taken up,¹⁴² they used⁵⁵³⁰ helps,⁹⁹⁶ undergirding⁵²⁶⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship;⁴¹⁴³ and,⁵⁰³⁷ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ lest³³⁶¹ they should fall¹⁶⁰¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ quicksands,⁴⁹⁵⁰ struck sail,^{5465 4632} and so³⁷⁷⁹ were driven.⁵³⁴²

18  And¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁵⁷ being exceedingly⁴⁹⁷¹ tossed with a tempest,⁵⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ next¹⁸³⁶ day they lightened the ship;^{4160 1546}

19  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ third⁵¹⁵⁴ day we cast out⁴⁴⁹⁶ with our own hands⁸⁴⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ tackling⁴⁶³¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³

20  And¹¹⁶¹ when neither³³⁸³ sun²²⁴⁶ nor³³⁸³ stars⁷⁹⁸ in¹⁹⁰⁹ many⁴¹¹⁹ days²²⁵⁰ appeared,²⁰¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ no³⁷⁵⁶ small³⁶⁴¹ tempest⁵⁴⁹⁴ lay on¹⁹⁴⁵ us, all³⁹⁵⁶ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ that we²²⁴⁸ should be saved⁴⁹⁸² was then³⁰⁶³ taken away.⁴⁰¹⁴

21  But¹¹⁶¹ after⁵²²⁵ long⁴¹⁸³ abstinence⁷⁷⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² stood forth²⁴⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of them,⁸⁴⁸ and said,^{2036 5599} Sirs,⁴³⁵ ye should¹¹⁶³ have³³⁰³ hearkened³⁹⁸⁰ unto me,³⁴²⁷ and not³³⁶¹ have loosed³²¹ from⁵⁷⁵ Crete,²⁹¹⁴ and⁵⁰³⁷ to have gained²⁷⁷⁰ this⁵⁰²⁶ harm⁵¹⁹⁶ and²⁵³² loss.²²⁰⁹

22  And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁹ I exhort³⁸⁶⁷ you⁵²⁰⁹ to be of good cheer:²¹¹⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ there shall be²⁰⁷¹ no³⁷⁶² loss⁵⁸⁰ of any man's life⁵⁵⁹⁰ among¹⁵³⁷ you,⁵²¹⁶ but⁴¹³³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³

23  For¹⁰⁶³ there stood by³⁹³⁶ me³⁴²⁷ this⁵⁰²⁶ night³⁵⁷¹ the angel³² of God,²³¹⁶ whose³⁷³⁹ I am,¹⁵¹⁰ and²⁵³² whom³⁷³⁹ I serve,³⁰⁰⁰

24  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Fear⁵³⁹⁹ not,³³⁶¹ Paul;³⁹⁷² thou⁴⁵⁷¹ must¹¹⁶³ be brought before³⁹³⁶ Caesar:²⁵⁴¹ and,²⁵³² lo,²⁴⁰⁰ God²³¹⁶ hath given⁵⁴⁸³ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ them that sail⁴¹²⁶ with³³²⁶ thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

25  Wherefore,¹³⁵² sirs,⁴³⁵ be of good cheer:²¹¹⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ I believe⁴¹⁰⁰ God,²³¹⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ it³⁷⁷⁹ shall be²⁰⁷¹ even as^{2596 3739 5158} it was told²⁹⁸⁰ me.³⁴²⁷

26  Howbeit¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁴⁸ must¹¹⁶³ be cast¹⁶⁰¹ upon¹⁵¹⁹ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ island.³⁵²⁰

27  But¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ the fourteenth⁵⁰⁶⁵ night³⁵⁷¹ was come,¹⁰⁹⁶ as we²²⁵⁷ were driven up and down¹³⁰⁸ in¹⁷²² Adria,⁹⁹ about²⁵⁹⁶ midnight^{3319 3571} the³⁵⁸⁸ shipmen³⁴⁹² deemed⁵²⁸² that they⁸⁴⁸ drew near⁴³¹⁷ to some⁵¹⁰⁰ country;⁵⁵⁶¹

28  And²⁵³² sounded,¹⁰⁰¹ and found²¹⁴⁷ it twenty¹⁵⁰¹ fathoms:³⁷¹² and¹¹⁶¹ when they had gone a little further,^{1339 1024} they sounded¹⁰⁰¹ again,³⁸²⁵ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ it fifteen¹¹⁷⁸ fathoms.³⁷¹²

29  Then⁵⁰³⁷ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ lest³³⁸¹ we should have fallen¹⁶⁰¹ upon¹⁵¹⁹ rocks,^{5138 5117} they cast⁴⁴⁹⁶ four⁵⁰⁶⁴ anchors⁴⁵ out¹⁵³⁷ of the stern,⁴⁴⁰³ and wished²¹⁷² for the day.^{2250 1096}

30  And¹¹⁶¹ as the³⁵⁸⁸ shipmen³⁴⁹² were about²²¹² to flee⁵³⁴³ out of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship,⁴¹⁴³ when²⁵³² they had let down⁵⁴⁶⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ boat⁴⁶²⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ under color⁴³⁹² as though⁵⁶¹³ they would³¹⁹⁵ have cast¹⁶¹⁴ anchors⁴⁵ out of¹⁵³⁷ the foreship,⁴⁴⁰⁸

31  Paul³⁹⁷² said²⁰³⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion¹⁵⁴³ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers,⁴⁷⁵⁷ Except³³⁶² these³⁷⁷⁸ abide³³⁰⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ ship,⁴¹⁴³ ye⁵²¹⁰ cannot^{1410 3756} be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

32  Then⁵¹¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers⁴⁷⁵⁷ cut off⁶⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ropes⁴⁹⁷⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ boat,⁴⁶²⁷ and²⁵³² let¹⁴³⁹ her⁸⁴⁶ fall off.¹⁶⁰¹

33  And¹¹⁶¹ while^{891 3739} the day²²⁵⁰ was³¹⁹⁵ coming on,¹⁰⁹⁶ Paul³⁹⁷² besought³⁸⁷⁰ them all⁵³⁷ to take³³³⁵ meat,⁵¹⁶⁰ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ This day⁴⁵⁹⁴ is the fourteenth⁵⁰⁶⁵ day²²⁵⁰ that ye have tarried⁴³²⁸ and continued¹³⁰⁰ fasting,⁷⁷⁷ having taken⁴³⁵⁵ nothing.³³⁶⁷

34  Wherefore¹³⁵² I pray³⁸⁷⁰ you⁵²⁰⁹ to take⁴³⁵⁵ some meat:⁵¹⁶⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ this⁵¹²⁴ is⁵²²⁵ for⁴³¹⁴ your⁵²¹² health:⁴⁹⁹¹ for¹⁰⁶³ there shall not an hair²³⁵⁹ fall⁴⁰⁹⁸ from¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ head²⁷⁷⁶ of any³⁷⁶² of you.⁵²¹⁶

35  And¹¹⁶¹ when he had thus⁵⁰²³ spoken,²⁰³⁶ he²⁵³² took²⁹⁸³ bread,⁷⁴⁰ and gave thanks²¹⁶⁸ to God²³¹⁶ in presence¹⁷⁹⁹ of them all:³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² when he had broken²⁸⁰⁶ it, he began⁷⁵⁶ to eat.²⁰⁶⁸

36  Then¹¹⁶¹ were¹⁰⁹⁶ they all³⁹⁵⁶ of good cheer,²¹¹⁵ and they⁸⁴⁸ also²⁵³² took⁴³⁵⁵ some meat.⁵¹⁶⁰

37  And¹¹⁶¹ we were²²⁵⁸ in all³⁹⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ ship⁴¹⁴³ two hundred threescore and sixteen^{1250 1440 1803} souls.⁵⁵⁹⁰

38  And¹¹⁶¹ when they had eaten enough,^{2880 5160} they lightened²⁸⁹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship,⁴¹⁴³ and cast out¹⁵⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ wheat⁴⁶²¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea.²²⁸¹

39  And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ it was¹⁰⁹⁶ day,²²⁵⁰ they knew¹⁹²¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ land:¹⁰⁹³ but¹¹⁶¹ they discovered²⁶⁵⁷ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ creek²⁸⁵⁹ with²¹⁹² a shore,¹²³ into¹⁵¹⁹ the which³⁷³⁹ they were minded,¹⁰¹¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ it were possible,¹⁴¹⁰ to thrust in¹⁸⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³

40  And²⁵³² when they had taken up⁴⁰¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ anchors,⁴⁵ they committed¹⁴³⁹ themselves unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea,²²⁸¹ and²⁶⁰ loosed⁴⁴⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ rudder⁴⁰⁷⁹ bands,²²⁰² and²⁵³² hoisted up¹⁸⁶⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ mainsail⁷³⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ wind,⁴¹⁵⁴ and made²⁷²² toward¹⁵¹⁹ shore.¹²³

41  And¹¹⁶¹ falling⁴⁰⁴⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ a place⁵¹¹⁷ where two seas met,¹³³⁷ they ran the ship aground;^{2027 3588 3491} and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ forepart^{4408 3303} stuck fast,²⁰⁴³ and remained³³⁰⁶ unmovable,⁷⁶¹ but¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ hinder part⁴⁴⁰³ was broken³⁰⁸⁹ with⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ violence⁹⁷⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ waves.²⁹⁴⁹

42  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ soldiers'⁴⁷⁵⁷ counsel¹⁰¹² was¹⁰⁹⁶ to²⁴⁴³ kill⁶¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ prisoners,¹²⁰² lest any of them^{3361 5100} should swim out,¹⁵⁷⁹ and escape.¹³⁰⁹

43  But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ centurion,¹⁵⁴³ willing¹⁰¹⁴ to save¹²⁹⁵ Paul,³⁹⁷² kept²⁹⁶⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ from their purpose;¹⁰¹³ and⁵⁰³⁷ commanded²⁷⁵³ that they which could¹⁴¹⁰ swim²⁸⁶⁰ should cast⁶⁴¹ themselves first⁴⁴¹³ into the sea, and get¹⁸²⁶ to¹⁹⁰⁹ land:¹⁰⁹³

44  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ rest,³⁰⁶² some³⁷³⁹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ boards,⁴⁵⁴⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ some^{3739 3303} on¹⁹⁰⁹ broken pieces⁵¹⁰⁰ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ ship.⁴¹⁴³ And²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ it came to pass,¹⁰⁹⁶ that they escaped all safe^{1295 3956} to¹⁹⁰⁹ land.¹⁰⁹³

Vul

1 Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,

2 ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.

3 Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.

4 Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.

5 Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ:

6 et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.

7 Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem:

8 et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.

9 Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,

10 dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.

11 Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.

12 Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum et ad Corum.

13 Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.

14 Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.

15 Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.

16 In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.

17 Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.

18 Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt:

19 et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.

20 Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.

21 Et cum multa jejunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit: Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere injuriam hanc et jacturam.

22 Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse: amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.

23 Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,

24 dicens: Ne timeas, Paule: Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.

25 Propter quod bono animo estote, viri: credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.

26 In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.

27 Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.

28 Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.

29 Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.

30 Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,

31 dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.

32 Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.

33 Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.

34 Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.

35 Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.

36 Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.

37 Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.

38 Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.

39 Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.

40 Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.

41 Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.

42 Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.

43 Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:

44 et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
