Acts 27:13-20

Etheridge(i) 13 And when the wind of the south blew, and we thought we could come as we desired, we sailed round Kreta. 14 And after a little there came forth against us a blowing of the tempest which is called Tuphonikos Euroklidon; 15 and the ship was carried away, and could not stand against the wind, and we gave her into its hand. 16 And when we had passed a certain isle that is called Cyra; we could scarcely take up the boat. 17 And when we had uplifted her, we girded and strengthened the ship. And because we feared lest we should fall into the precipitancy * of the sea, we brought down the sails, and so went forward. [* Locus declivis, descensus, praecipitium. Greek, snrtiv.] 18 And while there rose against us the hard tempest, the next day we threw the goods into the sea. 19 And the third day the things of the ship itself we cast forth. 20 And when the storm had held more days, and neither the sun was seen, nor the moon, nor stars, the hope that we should be saved at all was cut off.
