RKJNT(i)
14 But not long after there arose a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not make headway into the wind, we let her be driven along.
16 And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we had much work to secure the ship's boat.
17 When they had taken it up, they used ropes to undergird the ship; and, fearing lest they should run into the sandbars of Syrtis, let down the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 As we were exceedingly tossed by the tempest, the next day they threw the cargo overboard;
19 And the third day they cast out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared in many days, and no small tempest lay upon us, all hope that we should be saved was abandoned.
21 Then as they had been long without food, Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Men, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and incurred this damage and loss.
22 But now I encourage you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost.
23 For this night there stood before me an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Do not fear, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given you all those who sail with you.
25 Therefore, men, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be exactly as I was told.
26 Yet we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven about on the Sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were approaching land;
28 And took soundings, and found the water was twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it was fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should run upon the rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 As the sailors were about to flee the ship, and had let down the ship's boat into the sea, pretending they would cast out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes to the boat, and let her fall away.
33 And when day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and in fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Therefore I urge you to take food; this is for your strength. Not a hair shall perish from the head of any of you.
35 And when he had spoken thus, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Then they were all of good cheer, and they also took some food.
37 In all, there were two hundred and seventy-six of us in the ship.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by casting the wheat into the sea.
