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, <i>and there</i> to winter; <i>which is</i> an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. The harbor was not suitable for wintering, so the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter <i>there.</i> Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there.

16 Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat. Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the ship’s boat. And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: Running under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, we were able to get the <i>ship’s</i> boat under control <i>only</i> with difficulty.

17 After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along. After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and thus they were driven along. 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. After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on <i>the shallows</i> of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and let themselves be driven along in this way. so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
18 We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo. Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day to jettison the cargo.

20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved. When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on <i>us</i>, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing <i>us,</i> from then on all hope of our being saved was <i>slowly</i> abandoned. When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.

Then you would have averted this disaster and loss. Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss. 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. When many had lost their appetites, Paul then stood among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice and not have set sail from Crete, and <i>thereby</i> spared yourselves this damage and loss. After they 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.

27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land. When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land. 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; But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors <i>began</i> to suspect that they were approaching some land.

29 Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak. And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come. Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak. Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.
30 Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea. And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship’s boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow, 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, But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the <i>ship’s</i> boat into the sea, on the pretense that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow, 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.
31 But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved. Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain on the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved.” Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”

As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing. And while the day was coming on, Paul besought <i>them</i> all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. Until the day was about to dawn, Paul kept encouraging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken in nothing. 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.
34 So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost. Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.” Wherefore I pray you to take <i>some</i> meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. Therefore, I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your survival, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.” 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.”
35 After he had said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat. And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken <i>it</i>, he began to eat.

38 After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. When they had eaten enough, they <i>began</i> lightening the ship by throwing the wheat out into the sea. When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39 When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could. Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore. 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.

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.
40 Cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea as they loosened the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach. So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach. And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed <i>themselves</i> unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and they hoisted the foresail to the wind and were heading for the beach. 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.
41 But the vessel struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was being broken up by the pounding of the waves. But striking a reef, they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf. 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.

43 But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul’s life, thwarted their plan. He commanded those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land. But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land, But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from <i>their</i> purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast <i>themselves</i> first <i>into the sea</i>, and get to land: but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from <i>accomplishing</i> their intention, and commanded that those who could swim were to jump overboard first and get to land, 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.
