Goodspeed(i)
20 For a number of days neither the sun nor the stars were visible, and the storm continued to rage, until at last we gave up all hope of being saved.
21 Then, when they had gone a long time without food, Paul got up among them, and said, "Gentlemen, you ought to have listened to me and not to have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.
22 Even now, I beg you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 For last night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood before me,
24 and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul! You must stand before the emperor, and see! God has given you the lives of all the people who are on the ship with you.'
25 So keep up your courage, gentlemen! For I have faith in God that it will be just as I was told.
