| Acts 27 Text (WEB)

- When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
- Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
- The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
- Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
- When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
- There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
- When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
- With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
- When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
- and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."
- But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
- Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.
- When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
- But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
- When the ship was caught, and couldn't face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
- Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
- After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
- As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
- On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
- When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
- When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
- Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
- For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
- saying, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
- Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
- But we must run aground on a certain island."
- But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
- They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
- Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
- As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
- Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you can't be saved."
- Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
- While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
- Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
- When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
- Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
- In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
- When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
- When it was day, they didn't recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
- Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
- But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
- The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
- But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
- and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.

- וכאשר נגמר הדין כי נעבר באניה אל איטליא מסרו את פולוס ומקצת אסירים אחרים אל שר המאה לגדוד אגוסטוס ושמו יוליוס׃
- ונרד אל אניה אדרמטית נכנים לבוא על פני חוף אסיא ונעבר הימה ויהי אתנו ארסטרכוס מוקדון מן תסלוניקי׃
- וממחרת הגענו אל צידון ויוליוס עשה עם פולוס חסד וינח לו ללכת אל מידעיו להעזר בידם׃
- ונלך משם ונעבר בסביבות קפרוס כי הרוחות היו לנגדנו׃
- ונעבר את הים אשר לפני קיליקיא ופמפוליא ונבא אל מורא אשר בלוקיא׃
- וימצא שם שר המאה אניה אלכסנדרית באה לאיטליא ויעבירנו לתוכה׃
- והאניה הלכה בכבדות ימים רבים ואחרי אשר יגענו ובאנו אל מול קנידוס לא הניחנו הרוח לחתר אל היבשה ונעבר מצד לקריטי על פני הר סלמוני׃
- ואחרי אשר עברנו בתלאות באנו למקום אחד נקרא קלילמני אשר קרובה לו עיר ושמה לסיא׃
- ויהי מקץ ימים רבים כאשר באה עת הסכנה לירדי הים כי גם הצום כבר עבר ויזהר אתם פולוס׃
- ויאמר אליהם אנשים ראה אני כי הליכתנו תהיה אך מרי ונזק גדול לא לבד למעמסה ולאניה כי אם גם לנפשותינו׃
- ושר המאה לא שמע אל דברי פולוס כי אם אל רב החבל ואל בעל האניה׃
- ובאשר החוף איננו טוב לעמד בו בימי הסתיו יעצו הרבים לעבר משם לאמר אולי נוכל הגיע לפיניכס וישבנו שם בימי הסתו והוא חוף בקריטי פונה דרך הדרום מערבה ודרך הצפון מערבה׃
- ורוח נשבת לאט מדרום ויחשבו כי תצלח עצתם בידם ויעלו העוגין ויעברו לעמת שפת קריטי׃
- ויהי כמעט אחרי כן ותפגע בה רוח נחשל הנקראה אוריקלידון׃
- ותטרף האניה ולא יכלה לעמד נגד הרוח ונרף ידינו ממנה וננדף׃
- ותרץ האניה אל עבר אי קטן הנקרא קלודה וכמעט לא יכלנו לאחז העברה׃
- ואחרי משכם אותה אליהם ויקחו לעזר את כל אשר השיגה ידם ויחשבו את דפני האניה ומיראתם פן יפלו אל בין רכסי החול הורידו את כלי המפרש וכה נדפו׃
- ויהי הסער הולך וסער עלינו וממחרת הטילו את המעמסה אל הים׃
- וביום השלישי הטלנו בידינו את כלי האניה אל הים׃
- ויהי ימים רבים גם השמש גם הכוכבים לא נראו והסערה חזקה עלינו עד מאד ותכרת ממנו כל תקות ישועה׃
- ופולוס עמד בתוכם אחרי האריכם בצום ויאמר אנשים לו שמעתם אלי ולא יצאתם מקריטי כי אז לא קרנו הנזק הזה במריכם׃
- ועתה אני אמר אליכם חזקו ואמצו כי לא תאבד נפש מכם בלתי הספינה לבדה׃
- כי בלילה הזה נצב עלי מלאך האלהים אשר לו אנכי ואשר אני עבד אתו׃
- ויאמר אל תירא פולוס עליך עוד לעמד לפני הקיסר ועתה הנה נתן לך האלהים את כל ההלכים אתך באניה׃
- על כן אנשים חזקו ואמצו כי מאמין אני לאלהים כי כן יהיה כאשר נאמר אלי׃
- אך השלך נשלך אל אחד האיים׃
- ויהי כבוא ליל ארבעה עשר לטלטולנו בים אדריה כחצות הלילה ויחשבו המלחים כי קרבה להם יבשת׃
- ויורידו את האנך וימצאו עמק הים עשרים קומה ויעברו מעט ויוסיפו להוריד את האנך וימצאו קומות חמש עשרה׃
- וייראו פן יפגעו בשני הסלעים וישליכו מעל אחורי האניה ארבעה עוגינים אל הים ויכספו לאור היום׃
- והמלחים בקשו לברח מן האניה ויורידו את העברה אל הים באמרם כי יש את נפשם לשלח עוגינים גם מראש האניה׃
- ויאמר פולוס אל שר המאה ואל אנשי הצבא לאמר אם אלה לא ישבו אתנו באניה לא תוכלו אתם להושע׃
- ויקצצו אנשי הצבא את חבלי העברה ויתנוה לנפול׃
- והבקר טרם יאור ופולוס מבקש מכלם לטעם לחם לאמר היום יום ארבעה עשר אשר חכיתם צמים ולא טעמתם מאומה׃
- על כן קרא אני אתכם לטעם לחם כי הוא למחיתכם כי איש איש מכם לא יפל משערת ראשו ארצה׃
- הוא דבר את הדברים האלה והוא לקח את הלחס ויודה לאלהים לפני כלם ויבצע ויחל לאכל׃
- ויאמץ לב כלם ויטעמו אכל גם המה׃
- ואנחנו כל נפש אשר באניה מאתים ושבעים ושש׃
- ויאכלו לשבעה ויקלו מעל האניה ויטילו את הצדה אל הים׃
- הבקר אור ולא הכירו את הארץ אבל ראו כמפרץ וחוף לו ויועצו לנהג אליו את האניה אם יוכלו׃
- ויגדעו את העוגינים ויעזבום לים ויתירו גם את מיתרי המנהיג ויפרשו מפרש התרן אל פני הרוח ויבקשו לבא אל החוף׃
- ויפגעו במקום אשר הים משני עבריו ותדבק בו האניה ותעמד ראשה לא ינוע ואחוריה נשברו משאון הגלים׃
- ותהי עצת אנשי הצבא להמית את האסירים פן ישחה איש מהם וימלט׃
- ושר המאה חפץ להציל את פולוס וינא את עצתם ויאמר מי ידע לשחות ירד ויעבר ליבשה בראשנה והנשארים אלה על קרשים ואלה על שברי האניה׃
- ויהי כן וימלטו כלם אל היבשה׃

- Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,
- ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
- Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
- Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
- Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ :
- et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
- Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem :
- et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.
- Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio, eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
- dicens eis : Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
- Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.
- Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen, hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum et ad Corum.
- Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
- Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
- Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
- In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
- Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
- Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt :
- et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.
- Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.
- Et cum multa jejunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit : Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere injuriam hanc et jacturam.
- Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse : amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.
- Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,
- dicens : Ne timeas Paule, Cæsari te oportet assistere : et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.
- Propter quod bono animo estote viri : credo enim Deo, quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
- In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.
- Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
- Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti : et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
- Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.
- Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
- dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus : Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
- Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.
- Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens : Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
- Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra : quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
- Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium : et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.
- Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
- Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.
- Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.
- Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant : sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.
- Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum : et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.
- Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem : et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
- Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent : nequis cum enatasset, effugeret.
- Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri : jussitque eos, qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire :
- et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant : quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.

| Acts 27 Text (KJV)
|
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
- And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
- And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
- 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;
- And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
- Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
- 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.
- Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
- 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.
- And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
- But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
- And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
- And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
- 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.
- And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
- And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
- Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
- Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
- Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
- 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;
- And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
- Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
- 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,
- Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
- Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
- And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
- And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
- 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:
- 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.
