Acts 27:13-26

Acts 27:13-26

[13] And  when the south wind  blew softly,  supposing  that they had obtained  their purpose,  loosing  thence, they sailed  close by  Crete.  [14] But  not  long  after  there arose  against  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,  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 fall  into  the quicksands,  strake  sail,  and so  were driven.  [18] And  being exceedingly  tossed with a tempest,  the next  day they lightened the ship;  [19] And  the third  day we cast 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  should be saved  then  taken away.  [21] after  long  abstinence  Paul  stood forth  in  the midst  of them,  and said,  Sirs,  ye should  have hearkened  and not  have loosed  from  Crete,  and  to have gained  harm  and  loss.  [22] And  I exhort  to be of good cheer:  for  no  loss  of any man's life  among  but  of the ship.  [23] For  there stood by  night  the angel  of God,  whose  I am,  and  whom  I serve,  [24] Saying,  Fear  not,  Paul;  must  be brought before  Caesar:  and,  lo,  God  hath given  all  them that sail  with  [25] Wherefore,  sirs,  be of good cheer:  for  I believe  God,  that  it  even  as  it was told  [26] Howbeit  must  be cast  upon  a certain  island.
