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.
Acts.27.2
We boarded a ship from Adramyttium that was bound for Ephesus and ports west. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went 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.
Acts.27.4
Out to sea again, we sailed north under the protection of the northeast shore of Cyprus because winds out of the west were against us,
Acts.27.4
From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
Acts.27.4
When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Acts.27.4
Putting out to sea from there, we encountered headwinds that made it difficult to keep the ship on course, so we sailed north of Cyprus between the island and the mainland.

Acts.27.7
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;
Acts.27.7
We ran into bad weather and found it impossible to stay on course. After much difficulty, we finally made it to the southern coast of the island of Crete
Acts.27.7
We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
Acts.27.7
When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete off Salmone.
Acts.27.7
We had several days of rough sailing, and after great difficulty we finally neared Cnidus. But the wind was against us, so we sailed down to the leeward side of Crete, past the cape of Salmone.
Acts.27.8
And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
Acts.27.8

Acts.27.9
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
Acts.27.9
By this time we had lost a lot of time. We had passed the autumn equinox, so it would be stormy weather from now on through the winter, too dangerous for sailing. Paul warned,
Acts.27.9
Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Fast. So Paul warned them,
Acts.27.9
Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,
Acts.27.9
We had lost a lot of time. The weather was becoming dangerous for long voyages by then because it was so late in the fall, and Paul spoke to the ship's officers about it.
Acts.27.10
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.
Acts.27.10
"I see only disaster ahead for cargo and ship--to say nothing of our lives!-if we put out to sea now."
Acts.27.10
"Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also."
Acts.27.10
saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives."
Acts.27.10
"Sirs," he said, "I believe there is trouble ahead if we go on--shipwreck, loss of cargo, injuries, and danger to our lives."
Acts.27.11
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
Acts.27.11
The centurion set Paul's warning aside and let the ship captain and the shipowner talk him into trying for the next harbor.
Acts.27.11
But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
Acts.27.11
Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.
Acts.27.11
But the officer in charge of the prisoners listened more to the ship's captain and the owner than to Paul.
Acts.27.12
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.
Acts.27.12
But it was not the best harbor for staying the winter. Phoenix, a few miles further on, was more suitable.
Acts.27.12
Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.
Acts.27.12
And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
Acts.27.12
And since Fair Havens was an exposed harbor--a poor place to spend the winter--most of the crew wanted to go to Phoenix, farther up the coast of Crete, and spend the winter there. Phoenix was a good harbor with only a southwest and northwest exposure.
Acts.27.13
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
Acts.27.13
When a gentle southerly breeze came up, they weighed anchor, thinking it would be smooth sailing.
Acts.27.13
When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had obtained what they wanted; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
Acts.27.13
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.
Acts.27.13
When a light wind began blowing from the south, the sailors thought they could make it. So they pulled up anchor and sailed along close to shore.
Acts.27.14
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
Acts.27.14
But they were no sooner out to sea than a gale-force wind, the infamous nor'easter, struck.
Acts.27.14
Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the "northeaster," swept down from the island.
Acts.27.14
But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.
Acts.27.14
But the weather changed abruptly, and a wind of typhoon strength (a "northeaster," they called it) caught the ship and blew it out to sea.
Acts.27.15
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
Acts.27.15
They lost all control of the ship. It was a cork in the storm.
Acts.27.15
The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.
Acts.27.15
So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.
Acts.27.15
They couldn't turn the ship into the wind, so they gave up and let it run before the gale.
Acts.27.16
And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Acts.27.16
We came under the lee of the small island named Clauda, and managed to get a lifeboat ready and reef the sails.
Acts.27.16
As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure.
Acts.27.16
And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.
Acts.27.16
We sailed behind a small island named Cauda, where with great difficulty we hoisted aboard the lifeboat that was being towed behind us.
Acts.27.17
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.
Acts.27.17
But rocky shoals prevented us from getting close. We only managed to avoid them by throwing out drift anchors.
Acts.27.17
When the men had hoisted it aboard, they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
Acts.27.17
When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.
Acts.27.17
Then we banded the ship with ropes to strengthen the hull. The sailors were afraid of being driven across to the sandbars of Syrtis off the African coast, so they lowered the sea anchor and were thus driven before the wind.
Acts.27.18
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
Acts.27.18
Next day, out on the high seas again and badly damaged now by the storm, we dumped the cargo overboard.
Acts.27.18
We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.
Acts.27.18
And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.
Acts.27.18
The next day, as gale-force winds continued to batter the ship, the crew began throwing the cargo overboard.
Acts.27.19
And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
Acts.27.19
The third day the sailors lightened the ship further by throwing off all the tackle and provisions.
Acts.27.19
On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.
Acts.27.19
On the third day we threw the ship's tackle overboard with our own hands.
Acts.27.19
The following day they even threw out the ship's equipment and anything else they could lay their hands on.
Acts.27.20
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.
Acts.27.20
It had been many days since we had seen either sun or stars. Wind and waves were battering us unmercifully, and we lost all hope of rescue.
Acts.27.20
When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
Acts.27.20
Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.
Acts.27.20
The terrible storm raged unabated for many days, blotting out the sun and the stars, until at last all hope was gone.
Acts.27.21
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.
Acts.27.21
With our appetite for both food and life long gone, Paul took his place in our midst and said, "Friends, you really should have listened to me back in Crete. We could have avoided all this trouble and trial.
Acts.27.21
After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: "Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss.
Acts.27.21
But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.
Acts.27.21
No one had eaten for a long time. Finally, Paul called the crew together and said, "Men, you should have listened to me in the first place and not left Fair Havens. You would have avoided all this injury and loss.
Acts.27.22
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.
Acts.27.22
But there's no need to dwell on that now. From now on, things are looking up! I can assure you that there'll not be a single drowning among us, although I can't say as much for the ship--the ship itself is doomed.
Acts.27.22
But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.
Acts.27.22
And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Acts.27.22
But take courage! None of you will lose your lives, even though the ship will go down.
Acts.27.23
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Acts.27.23
"Last night God's angel stood at my side, an angel of this God I serve,
Acts.27.23
Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me
Acts.27.23
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,
Acts.27.23
For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me,
Acts.27.24
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Acts.27.24
saying to me, "Don't give up, Paul. You're going to stand before Caesar yet--and everyone sailing with you is also going to make it.'
Acts.27.24
and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.'
Acts.27.24
saying, "Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
Acts.27.24
and he said, 'Don't be afraid, Paul, for you will surely stand trial before Caesar! What's more, God in his goodness has granted safety to everyone sailing with you.'
Acts.27.25
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Acts.27.25
So, dear friends, take heart. I believe God will do exactly what he told me.
Acts.27.25
So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
Acts.27.25
Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.
Acts.27.25
So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said.
Acts.27.26
Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
Acts.27.26
But we're going to shipwreck on some island or other."
Acts.27.26
Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island."
Acts.27.26
However, we must run aground on a certain island."
Acts.27.26
But we will be shipwrecked on an island."
Acts.27.27
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;
Acts.27.27
On the fourteenth night, adrift somewhere on the Adriatic Sea, at about midnight the sailors sensed that we were approaching land.
Acts.27.27
On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
Acts.27.27
Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land.
Acts.27.27
About midnight on the fourteenth night of the storm, as we were being driven across the Sea of Adria, the sailors sensed land was near.
Acts.27.28
And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
Acts.27.28
Sounding, they measured a depth of one hundred twenty feet, and shortly after that ninety feet.
Acts.27.28
They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet deep.
Acts.27.28
And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.
Acts.27.28
They took soundings and found the water was only 120 feet deep. A little later they sounded again and found only 90 feet.
Acts.27.29
Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Acts.27.29
Afraid that we were about to run aground, they threw out four anchors and prayed for daylight.
Acts.27.29
Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.
Acts.27.29
Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.
Acts.27.29
At this rate they were afraid we would soon be driven against the rocks along the shore, so they threw out four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.
Acts.27.30
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,
Acts.27.30
Some of the sailors tried to jump ship. They let down the lifeboat, pretending they were going to set out more anchors from the bow.
Acts.27.30
In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow.
Acts.27.30
And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,
Acts.27.30
Then the sailors tried to abandon the ship; they lowered the lifeboat as though they were going to put out anchors from the prow.
Acts.27.31
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Acts.27.31
Paul saw through their guise and told the centurion and his soldiers, "If these sailors don't stay with the ship, we're all going down."
Acts.27.31
Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved."
Acts.27.31
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
Acts.27.31

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Acts.27.32
So the soldiers cut the lines to the lifeboat and let it drift off.
Acts.27.32
So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it fall away.
Acts.27.32

So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the boat fall off.
Acts.27.33
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.
Acts.27.33
With dawn about to break, Paul called everyone together and proposed breakfast: "This is the fourteenth day we've gone without food. None of us has felt like eating!
Acts.27.33
Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. "For the last fourteen days," he said, "you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food--you haven't eaten anything.
Acts.27.33
And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.
Acts.27.33
As the darkness gave way to the early morning light, Paul begged everyone to eat. "You haven't touched food for two weeks," he said.
Acts.27.34
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.
Acts.27.34
But I urge you to eat something now. You'll need strength for the rescue ahead. You're going to come out of this without even a scratch!"
Acts.27.34
Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head."
Acts.27.34
Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you."
Acts.27.34
"Please eat something now for your own good. For not a hair of your heads will perish."
Acts.27.35
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.
Acts.27.35
He broke the bread, gave thanks to God, passed it around,
Acts.27.35
After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
Acts.27.35
And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.
Acts.27.35
Then he took some bread, gave thanks to God before them all, and broke off a piece and ate it.
Acts.27.36
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
Acts.27.36
and they all ate heartily--
Acts.27.36
They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves.
Acts.27.36
Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves.
Acts.27.36
Then everyone was encouraged,
Acts.27.37
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Acts.27.37
two hundred seventy-six of us, all told!
Acts.27.37
Altogether there were 276 of us on board.
Acts.27.37
And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship.
Acts.27.37
and all 276 of us began eating--for that is the number we had aboard.
Acts.27.38
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Acts.27.38
With the meal finished and everyone full, the ship was further lightened by dumping the grain overboard.
Acts.27.38
When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

Acts.27.38
After eating, the crew lightened the ship further by throwing the cargo of wheat overboard.
Acts.27.39
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.
Acts.27.39
At daybreak, no one recognized the land--but then they did notice a bay with a nice beach. They decided to try to run the ship up on the beach.
Acts.27.39
When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
Acts.27.39
When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.
Acts.27.39
When morning dawned, they didn't recognize the coastline, but they saw a bay with a beach and wondered if they could get between the rocks and get the ship safely to shore.
Acts.27.40
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.
Acts.27.40
They cut the anchors, loosed the tiller, raised the sail, and ran before the wind toward the beach.
Acts.27.40
Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
Acts.27.40
And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.
Acts.27.40
So they cut off the anchors and left them in the sea. Then they lowered the rudders, raised the foresail, and headed toward shore.
Acts.27.41
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.
Acts.27.41
But we didn't make it. Still far from shore, we hit a reef and the ship began to break up.
Acts.27.41
But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.
Acts.27.41
But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
Acts.27.41
But the ship hit a shoal and ran aground. The bow of the ship stuck fast, while the stern was repeatedly smashed by the force of the waves and began to break apart.
Acts.27.42
And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Acts.27.42
The soldiers decided to kill the prisoners so none could escape by swimming,
Acts.27.42
The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.

The soldiers wanted to kill the prisoners to make sure they didn't swim ashore and escape.
Acts.27.43
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:
Acts.27.43
but the centurion, determined to save Paul, stopped them. He gave orders for anyone who could swim to dive in and go for it,
Acts.27.43
But the centurion wanted to spare Paul's life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
