[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. [27] But when the fourteenth night was come, were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country; [28] And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. [29] Then fearing we should have fallen 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, these abide in the ship, cannot be saved. [32] Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
