Acts 27:13-20

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore. 14 But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon: 15 and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven. 16 And running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat: 17 and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship, and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtes, they lowered the gear, and so were driven. 18 And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the the freight overboard, 19 and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 20 And 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.
