ABP - Acts - 27

27:1  And when it was decided for us to sail away unto Italy, they delivered up both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of the cohort of Augustus.

27:2  And having set foot in a boat of Adramyttium, being about to sail the [2along 3Asia 1places], we embarked; being with us Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica.

27:3  And another day we led down unto Sidon. [3kindly 1And 2Julius] treating Paul, permitted him [2to 3his friends 1going 5care 4to attain].

27:4  And from there embarking, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being adverse.

27:5  And the open sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia having sailed, we went down unto Myra of Lycia.

27:6  And there [3having found 1the 2centurion] a boat of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he boarded us onto it.

27:7  [2in 3a fit amount 1And] of days sailing slowly, and hardly coming near Cnidus, [3not 4allowing us further 1the 2wind], we sailed under Crete, near Salmone.

27:8  And hardly sailing along it, we came to a certain place being called, Good Harbors, near which was a city of Lasea.

27:9  And a fit amount of time having elapsed, and being already a dangerous voyage, because also the fasting already went by, Paul earnestly advised,

27:10  saying to them, Men, I contemplate that with damage and much loss, not only of the load of cargo and the boat, but also [6of our lives 4about 3is 5to be 1the 2voyage].

27:11  But the centurion [2by the 3navigator 4and 5the 6shipmaster 1was persuaded] rather than the things [2by 3Paul 1being said].

27:12  [5being unsuitable 1And 2the 4harbor 3existing] for wintering, the more they made counsel to embark from there, if by any means they might be able, arriving at Phoenix, to pass the winter, a harbor of Crete looking towards the southwest and towards the northwest.

27:13  And blowing gently south, thinking the purpose to have been reached, having lifted off [2close by 1they sailed] Crete.

27:14  [4after 2not 3long 1But 7shot 8by 9it 6wind 5a stormy], being called Euroclydon.

27:15  [4being seized with force 1And 2the 3boat], and not able to tack into the wind, giving up we bore off.

27:16  [4small island 1And 3some 2running under] being called Clauda, [2hardly 1we were 3able 5control 4to take] of the skiff;

27:17  which having taken up, [2helps 1they employed], undergirding the boat; and fearing lest into the Syrtis they should fall off, letting down the rigging, thus they were borne along.

27:18  And vehemently with our being tossed by the storm, on the next day an expulsion of cargo was made;

27:19  and the third day with our own hands [2the 3rigging 4of the 5boat 1we tossed out].

27:20  And neither sun nor stars were appearing for many more days, [4distress 1and 2no 3small] was pressed upon us, [2remaining 4was removed 1and all 3hope] for us to be preserved.

27:21  And a long lack of food existing, then Paul standing in their midst said, Indeed it behooved you, O men, having yielded obedience to me, to not have embarked from Crete, so as to gain this damage and the loss.

27:22  And at present I earnestly advise you be cheerful! [5cast off 1For 3life 2not one 4will be] of you, except the boat.

27:23  For there stood beside me in this night an angel of God, of whom I am, and in whom I serve,

27:24  saying, Fear not, Paul, Caesar you must stand before, and behold, [2has granted 3to you 1God] all the ones sailing with you.

27:25  Therefore be cheerful men! for I believe in God that so it will be in which manner it has been spoken to me.

27:26  [2onto 4island 1But 3a certain] we must fall.

27:27  And when the fourteenth night came to pass, we being carried about in the Adriatic, towards the middle of the night [3suspected 1the 2seamen 6neared 4some 7them 5region].

27:28  And having sounded, they found it [2fathoms 1twenty]; and a short time having elapsed, and again having sounded, they found it [2fathoms 1fifteen].

27:29  And fearing perhaps [2into 3rough 4places 1they should fall], [4from out of 5the stern 1they tossed 3anchors 2four], vowing day to come.

27:30  And the seamen seeking to flee from the boat, and having let down the skiff into the sea, with an excuse as [4from 5the prow 1to be about 3the anchors 2to stretch out],

27:31  Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, If these do not stay in the boat, you [3to be preserved 1will not 2be able].

27:32  Then the soldiers cut off the lines of the skiff, and allowed it to fall off.

27:33  And until [2was about 1day] to come, Paul appealed for all to share in nourishment, saying, [2is the fourteenth 1Today] day [2expecting 3without eating 1you continue], [2nothing 1having taken] to yourselves.

27:34  Therefore I appeal to you to take nourishment, for this [2for 3your 4deliverance 1exists]; [2not one 1for 4of yours 3hair 6from 7your head 5shall fall].

27:35  And having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all; and having broken he began to eat.

27:36  [4cheerful 1And 3having become 2all], also they took nourishment.

27:37  And we were in the boat, all [4souls 1two hundred 2seventy 3six].

27:38  And being satisfied with nourishment, they lightened the boat, casting out the grain into the sea.

27:39  And when [2day 1it became], [3the 4land 1they did not 2recognize]; [4bay 1but 3a certain 2they contemplated] having a shore, on which they consulted if they are able to thrust the boat.

27:40  And [2the 3anchors 1having removed], they gave up unto the sea, together unfastening the tillers of the rudders; and having lifted up the mainsail to the blow, they held for the shore.

27:41  And having fallen into a place between two seas, they ran [3aground 1the 2ship]. And the prow having stuck, remained unshaken, but the stern was loose by the force of the waves.

27:42  And the soldiers plan was that [2the 3prisoners 1they should kill], lest any swimming, should have escaped.

27:43  But the centurion wanting to save Paul, restrained them of their will, and bid the ones able to swim, having thrown themselves off first, [2unto 3the 4land 1to exit];

27:44  and the rest, some indeed upon planks and others upon some of the things from the boat. And so it came to pass all came through safe unto the land.
