Ac 27 (King James)

¹ 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.
² 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.
³ 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.
⁴ And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
⁵ And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
⁶ And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
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;
⁸ And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
⁹ Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
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.
¹¹ Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
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.
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, we had 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 we 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 that we should be saved was then taken away.
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.
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.
²³ For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
²⁴ Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
²⁵ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
²⁶ Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
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;
²⁸ And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
²⁹ Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
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,
³¹ Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
³² Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
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.
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.
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.
³⁶ Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
³⁷ And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
³⁸ And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
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.
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.
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.
⁴² And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
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:
⁴⁴ 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.

Ac 27 (Vulgate)

¹ Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,
² ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
³ Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
⁴ Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
⁵ Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ :
⁶ et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
⁷ Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem :
⁸ et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.
⁹ Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
¹⁰ dicens eis : Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
¹¹ Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.
¹² 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.
¹³ Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
¹⁴ Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
¹⁵ Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
¹⁶ In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
¹⁷ Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
¹⁸ Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt :
¹⁹ et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.
²⁰ Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.
²¹ 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.
²² Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse : amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.
²³ Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,
²⁴ dicens : Ne timeas, Paule : Cæsari te oportet assistere : et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.
²⁵ Propter quod bono animo estote, viri : credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
²⁶ In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.
²⁷ Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
²⁸ Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti : et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
²⁹ Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.
³⁰ Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
³¹ dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus : Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
³² Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.
³³ Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens : Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
³⁴ Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra : quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
³⁵ Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium : et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.
³⁶ Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
³⁷ Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.
³⁸ Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.
³⁹ Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant : sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.
⁴⁰ Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum : et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.
⁴¹ Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem : et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
⁴² Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.
⁴³ Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri : jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire :
⁴⁴ et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
