00:00.000 --> 00:05.700
Chapter 27 And when it was determined that
we should sail into Italy, they delivered

00:05.700 --> 00:10.200
Paul and certain other prisoners unto one
named Julius, a centurion of Augustus'

00:10.360 --> 00:10.560
band.

00:11.280 --> 00:15.360
And entering into a ship of Adermidium,
we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts

00:15.360 --> 00:20.060
of Asia, one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of
Thessalonica, being with us.

00:20.600 --> 00:25.300
And the next day we touched at Sidon,
and Julius courteously entreated Paul and

00:25.300 --> 00:27.960
gave him liberty to go unto his friends to
refresh himself.

00:27.960 --> 00:32.200
And when we had launched from thence,
we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds

00:32.200 --> 00:32.780
were contrary.

00:33.640 --> 00:37.920
And when we had sailed over the sea of
Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra,

00:38.160 --> 00:38.920
a city of Lycia.

00:39.520 --> 00:43.040
And there the centurion found a ship of
Alexandria sailing into Italy,

00:43.440 --> 00:44.520
and he put us therein.

00:45.140 --> 00:49.780
And when we had sailed slowly many days,
and scarce were come over against Nidus,

00:50.040 --> 00:55.460
the wind not suffering us, we sailed under
Crete, over against Salmoni, and,

00:55.480 --> 01:00.200
hardly passing it, came unto a place which
is called the Fair Havens, nigh whereunto

01:00.200 --> 01:01.280
was the city of Lycia.

01:02.400 --> 01:06.800
Now when much time was spent, and when
sailing was now dangerous, because the

01:06.800 --> 01:11.240
fast was now already past, Paul admonished
them and said unto them, Sirs,

01:11.940 --> 01:16.400
I perceive that this voyage will be with
hurt and much damage, not only of the

01:16.400 --> 01:18.780
lading and ship, but also of our lives.

01:19.120 --> 01:23.320
Nevertheless, the centurion believed the
master and the owner of the ship more than

01:23.320 --> 01:25.140
those things which were spoken by Paul.

01:25.880 --> 01:29.800
And because the haven was not commodious
to winter in, the more part advised to

01:29.800 --> 01:34.340
depart thence also, if by any means they
might attain to Pharnace and there to

01:34.340 --> 01:38.020
winter, which is an haven of Crete,
and lieth toward the south-west and

01:38.020 --> 01:38.600
north-west.

01:39.120 --> 01:42.940
And when the south wind blew softly,
supposing that they had obtained their

01:42.940 --> 01:46.140
purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close
by Crete.

01:46.800 --> 01:51.620
But not long after there arose against it
a tempestuous wind called Europladon,

01:51.620 --> 01:56.320
and when the ship was caught and could not
bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

01:57.000 --> 02:00.800
And running under a certain island which
is called Clauda, we had much work to come

02:00.800 --> 02:05.300
by the boat, which when they had taken up,
they used helps, undergirding the ship,

02:05.640 --> 02:09.660
and fearing lest they should fall into the
quicksands, straight sail, and so were

02:09.660 --> 02:09.940
driven.

02:10.660 --> 02:14.840
And we being exceedingly tossed with a
tempest, the next day they lightened the

02:14.840 --> 02:19.420
ship, and the third day we cast out with
our own hands the tackling of the ship.

02:19.420 --> 02:25.080
And when neither sun nor stars in many
days appeared, and no small tempest lay on

02:25.080 --> 02:28.360
us, all hope that we should be saved was
then taken away.

02:29.040 --> 02:32.940
But after long abstinence, Paul stood
forth in the midst of them and said,

02:33.160 --> 02:37.580
Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me,
and not have loosed from Crete,

02:37.960 --> 02:40.140
and to have gained this harm and loss.

02:40.780 --> 02:46.180
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer,
for there shall be no loss of any man's

02:46.180 --> 02:48.180
life among you, but of the ship.

02:48.860 --> 02:55.680
For there stood by me this night the angel
of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

02:56.400 --> 02:58.840
saying, Fear not, Paul.

02:59.500 --> 03:05.580
Thou must be brought before Caesar,
and lo, God hath given thee all them that

03:05.580 --> 03:06.420
sail with thee.

03:07.340 --> 03:12.860
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer,
for I believe, God, that it shall be even

03:12.860 --> 03:14.020
as it was told me.

03:14.600 --> 03:15.480
How be it?

03:16.460 --> 03:18.360
We must be cast upon a certain island.

03:18.900 --> 03:22.880
But when the fourteenth night was come,
as we were driven up and down in Adria,

03:23.280 --> 03:26.720
about midnight the shipmen deemed that
they drew near to some country,

03:27.120 --> 03:29.240
and sounded, and found it twenty fathoms.

03:29.680 --> 03:33.320
And when they had gone a little further,
they sounded again, and found it fifteen

03:33.320 --> 03:33.780
fathoms.

03:34.720 --> 03:38.820
Then fearing lest we should have fallen
upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of

03:38.820 --> 03:40.740
the stern, and wished for the day.

03:41.340 --> 03:45.280
And as the shipmen were about to flee out
of the ship, when they had let down the

03:45.280 --> 03:49.080
boat into the sea, under color as though
they would have cast anchors out of the

03:49.080 --> 03:54.040
foreship, Paul said to the centurion and
to the soldiers, Except these abide in the

03:54.040 --> 03:55.820
ship, ye cannot be saved.

03:55.960 --> 03:59.400
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the
boat, and let her fall off.

03:59.960 --> 04:03.840
And while the day was coming on,
Paul besought them all to take meat,

04:04.000 --> 04:08.560
saying, This day is the fourteenth day
that ye have tarried, and continued

04:08.560 --> 04:10.420
fasting, having taken nothing.

04:11.220 --> 04:16.220
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat,
for this is for your health, for there

04:16.220 --> 04:19.640
shall not an hair fall from the head of
any of you.

04:20.040 --> 04:24.700
And when he had thus spoken, he took
bread, and gave thanks to God in presence

04:24.700 --> 04:25.280
of them all.

04:25.740 --> 04:28.200
And when he had broken it, he began to
eat.

04:29.140 --> 04:32.520
Then were they all of good cheer,
and they also took some meat.

04:33.100 --> 04:36.640
And we were in all in the ship,
two hundred, three score, and sixteen

04:36.640 --> 04:37.100
souls.

04:37.100 --> 04:41.320
And when they had eaten enough,
they lightened the ship, and cast out the

04:41.320 --> 04:42.220
wheat into the sea.

04:43.080 --> 04:47.180
And when it was day, they knew not the
land, but they discovered a certain creek

04:47.180 --> 04:51.040
with a shore, into the which they were
minded if it were possible to thrust in

04:51.040 --> 04:51.440
the ship.

04:51.980 --> 04:55.580
And when they had taken up the anchors,
they committed themselves under the sea,

04:55.920 --> 05:00.420
and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up
the mainsail to the wind, and made toward

05:00.420 --> 05:00.740
shore.

05:01.300 --> 05:05.520
And falling into a place where two seas
met, they ran the ship aground,

05:05.520 --> 05:08.920
and the fore part stuck fast, and remained
unmovable.

05:09.500 --> 05:12.460
But the hinder part was broken with the
violence of the waves.

05:13.260 --> 05:16.780
And the soldier's counsel was to kill the
prisoners, lest any of them should swim

05:16.780 --> 05:17.520
out and escape.

05:18.040 --> 05:22.140
But the centurion, willing to save Paul,
kept them from their purpose, and

05:22.140 --> 05:25.800
commanded that they which could swim
should cast themselves first into the sea,

05:26.080 --> 05:26.920
and get to land.

05:27.520 --> 05:31.140
And the rest, some on boards, and some on
broken pieces of the ship.

05:31.140 --> 05:35.960
And so it came to pass that they escaped
all safe to land.
