27:3. And the day following, we came to Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends and to take care of himself. 27:4. And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 27:5. And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia. 27:6. And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it. 27:7. And when for many days we had sailed slowly and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone. 27:8. And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa. 27:9. And when much time was spent and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them, 27:10. Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 27:11. But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul. 27:12. And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice, to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest. 27:13. And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete. 27:14. But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo. 27:15. And when the ship was caught and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven. 27:16. And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat. 27:17. Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard and so were driven. 27:18. And we, being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship. 27:19. And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tacking of the ship. 27:20. And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and no small storms lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away. 27:21. And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me and not have loosed from Crete and have gained this harm and loss. 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 only of the ship. 27:23. For an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, 27:24. Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
