Acts 27 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Paul Is Sent to Rome

Act 27:1And 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.

Act 27:2

Act 27:2And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

Act 27:3

Act 27:3And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.

Act 27:4

Act 27:4And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

Act 27:5

Act 27:5And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

Act 27:6

Act 27:6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.

Act 27:7

Act 27:7And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;

Act 27:8

Act 27:8and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

Act 27:9

Act 27:9And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

Act 27:10

Act 27:10and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

Act 27:11

Act 27:11But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

Act 27:12

Act 27:12And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.

Act 27:13

Act 27:13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

Shipwreck

Act 27:14

Act 27:14But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

Act 27:15

Act 27:15and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.

Act 27:16

Act 27:16And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

Act 27:17

Act 27:17and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

Act 27:18

Act 27:18And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;

Act 27:19

Act 27:19and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

Act 27:20

Act 27:20And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

Act 27:21

Act 27:21And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

Act 27:22

Act 27:22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

Act 27:23

Act 27:23For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

Act 27:24

Act 27:24saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.

Act 27:25

Act 27:25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.

Act 27:26

Act 27:26But we must be cast upon a certain island.

Act 27:27

Act 27:27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:

Act 27:28

Act 27:28and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

Act 27:29

Act 27:29And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

Act 27:30

Act 27:30And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,

Act 27:31

Act 27:31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

Act 27:32

Act 27:32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

Act 27:33

Act 27:33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

Act 27:34

Act 27:34Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.

Act 27:35

Act 27:35And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.

Act 27:36

Act 27:36Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.

Act 27:37

Act 27:37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

Act 27:38

Act 27:38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

Act 27:39

Act 27:39And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

Act 27:40

Act 27:40And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

Act 27:41

Act 27:41But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

Act 27:42

Act 27:42And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

Act 27:43

Act 27:43But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;

Act 27:44

Act 27:44and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
