Paul Is Taken to Rome
When it was time for us to sail to Rome, Captain Julius from the Emperor's special troops was put in charge of Paul and the other prisoners.
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
2 We went aboard a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to some ports along the coast of Asia. Aristarchus from Thessalonica in Macedonia sailed on the ship with us. And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 The next day we came to shore at Sidon. Captain Julius was very kind to Paul. He even let him visit his friends, so they could give him whatever he needed. And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 When we left Sidon, the winds were blowing against us, and we sailed close to the island of Cyprus to be safe from the wind. And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Then we sailed south of Cilicia and Pamphylia until we came to the port of Myra in Lycia. And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 There the army captain found a ship from Alexandria that was going to Italy. So he ordered us to board that ship. And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 We sailed along slowly for several days and had a hard time reaching Cnidus. The wind would not let us go any farther in that direction, so we sailed past Cape Salmone, where the island of Crete would protect us from the wind. 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 We went slowly along the coast and finally reached a place called Fair Havens, not far from the town of Lasea. And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 By now we had already lost a lot of time, and sailing was no longer safe. In fact, even the Great Day of Forgiveness was past. Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 Then Paul spoke to the crew of the ship, “Men, listen to me! If we sail now, our ship and its cargo will be badly damaged, and many lives will be lost.” And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 But Julius listened to the captain of the ship and its owner, rather than to Paul. Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 The harbor at Fair Havens wasn't a good place to spend the winter. Because of this, almost everyone agreed that we should at least try to sail along the coast of Crete as far as Phoenix. It had a harbor that opened toward the southwest and northwest, and we could spend the winter there. And because the haven was not commodious 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
The Storm at Sea
When a gentle wind from the south started blowing, the men thought it was a good time to do what they had planned. So they pulled up the anchor, and we sailed along the coast of Crete.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But soon a strong wind called “The Northeaster” blew against us from the island. But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 The wind struck the ship, and we could not sail against it. So we let the wind carry the ship. And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 We went along the island of Cauda on the side that was protected from the wind. We had a hard time holding the lifeboat in place, And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 but finally we got it where it belonged. Then the sailors wrapped ropes around the ship to hold it together. They lowered the sail and let the ship drift along, because they were afraid it might hit the sandbanks in the gulf of Syrtis. 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 The storm was so fierce that the next day they threw some of the ship's cargo overboard. And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 Then on the third day, with their bare hands they threw overboard some of the ship's gear. And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 For several days we could not see either the sun or the stars. A strong wind kept blowing, and we finally gave up all hope of being saved. 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 Since none of us had eaten anything for a long time, Paul stood up and told the men: You should have listened to me! If you had stayed on in Crete, you would not have had this damage and loss. But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 But now I beg you to cheer up, because you will be safe. Only the ship will be lost. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
23 I belong to God, and I worship him. Last night he sent an angel For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 to tell me, “Paul, don't be afraid! You will stand trial before the Emperor. And because of you, God will save the lives of everyone on the ship.” Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Cheer up! I am sure that God will do exactly what he promised. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 But we will first be shipwrecked on some island. Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 For 14 days and nights we had been blown around over the Mediterranean Sea. But about midnight the sailors realized we were getting near land. But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 They measured and found that the water was about 40 meters deep. A little later they measured again and found it was only about 30 meters. And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 The sailors were afraid that we might hit some rocks, and they let down four anchors from the back of the ship. Then they prayed for daylight. Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 The sailors wanted to escape from the ship. So they lowered the lifeboat into the water, pretending that they were letting down some anchors from the front of the ship. 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 But Paul said to Captain Julius and the soldiers, “If the sailors don't stay on the ship, you won't have any chance to save your lives.” Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 The soldiers then cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it fall into the sea. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Just before daylight Paul begged the people to eat something. He told them, “For 14 days you have been so worried that you haven't eaten a thing. And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 I beg you to eat something. Your lives depend on it. Do this and not one of you will be hurt.” Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 After Paul had said this, he took a piece of bread and gave thanks to God. Then in front of everyone, he broke the bread and ate some. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 They all felt encouraged, and each of them ate something. Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 There were 276 people on the ship, And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 and after everyone had eaten, they threw the cargo of wheat into the sea to make the ship lighter. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39
The Shipwreck
Morning came, and the ship's crew saw a coast they did not recognize. But they did see a cove with a beach. So they decided to try to run the ship aground on the beach.
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 They cut the anchors loose and let them sink into the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes that were holding the rudders. Next, they raised the sail at the front of the ship and let the wind carry the ship toward the beach. And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 But it ran aground on a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck firmly in the sand, and the rear was being smashed by the force of the waves. And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 The soldiers decided to kill the prisoners to keep them from swimming away and escaping. And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 But Captain Julius wanted to save Paul's life, and he did not let the soldiers do what they had planned. Instead, he ordered everyone who could swim to jump into the water and head for shore. But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
44 Then he told the others to hold on to planks of wood or parts of the ship. At last, everyone safely reached shore. And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
