9 Much time being spent and the navigation now dangerous [for it was now after the fast,] Paul gave them warning,
10 saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with damage and no small risk, not only of the vessel and cargo, but also of our lives.
11 But the centurion paid greater regard to the pilot and the master of the vessel than to what Paul said.
12 And as the harbour was not convenient for a winter station, the greater part advised to depart thence and try to reach Phenice; a port in Crete looking south west and north west, to winter there.
13 So a gentle breeze springing up from the south. they, confident of gaining their point, weighed anchor and sailed close along Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon,
15 and the vessel being hurried away and not able to look up to the wind, we were forced to let her drive.
16 And running close under a little island called Clauda, we had much ado to secure the boat:
17 Having hoisted this in they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they should run on the quicksands, they lowered the sail and so were driven.
18 But as we were exceedingly tossed by the tempest, they on the next day threw overboard some of the cargo.
19 And on the third day we with our own hands threw overboard the tackling of the ship.
20 Now as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and the tempest still bore hard upon us, all hopes of escaping were at last taken away.
21 And there being then a great abstinence from food, Paul standing in the midst of them said, Sirs, you ought to have hearkened to me and not sailed from Crete and incurred this damage and risk.
22 However, for the present, I exhort you to be of good courage, for there will be no loss of any life among you, but of the ship only.
23 For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me last night,
24 and said, Fear not, Paul. Thou must appear before Caesar; and lo! God hath given thee all them who are sailing with thee.
25 Therefore take courage, sirs: for I have a confidence in God that the result will be just as it hath been told me.
26 But we must be shipwrecked on some island.
27 So when the fourteenth night was come, while we were driving about in the Adriatic sea, about midnight, the sailors suspected that they were approaching some land.
28 And upon sounding they found twenty fathoms. And proceeding a little further they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
