[6] And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put therein. [7] And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; [8] And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair nigh whereunto the city of Lasea. [9] Now when much time was spent, and when sailing now dangerous, because the fast now already past, Paul admonished [10] And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only and ship, but also lives. [11] Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. [12] And the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart 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] 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. [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.
