James 3:4 Cross References - BLB

⁴ Behold also the ships, being so great and being driven by strong winds, are turned about by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the one steering resolves.

²⁴ And behold, a great storm arose in the sea so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He Himself was sleeping.

¹⁴ But not long after, there came down from it a tempestuous wind called the Northeaster. ¹⁵ And the ship having been caught and not being able to face to the wind, having given way, we were driven along. ¹⁶ And having run under a certain island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to gain control of the lifeboat, ¹⁷ which having taken up, they began using supports, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they should fall into the sandbars of Syrtis, having lowered the gear, thus they were driven along. ¹⁸ And we being storm-tossed violently, on the next day they began to make a jettison of cargo, ¹⁹ and on the third day they cast away the tackle of the ship with the own hands. ²⁰ And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small tempest lying on us, from then on all hope of our being saved was abandoned. ²¹ There being also much time without food, at that time having stood up in their midst, Paul said, “It behooved you indeed, O men, having been obedient to me, not to have set sail from Crete and to have incurred this disaster and loss. ²² And yet now I exhort you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life from among you, only of the ship. ²³ For this night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me, ²⁴ saying, ‘Fear not, Paul. It behooves you to stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you.’ ²⁵ Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be thus, according to the way it has been said to me. ²⁶ But it behooves us to fall upon a certain island.” ²⁷ And when the fourteenth night had come, of us being driven about in the Adriatic, toward the middle of the night the sailors began sensing some land to be drawing near to them. ²⁸ And having taken soundings, they found twenty fathoms. Then having gone a little farther and having taken soundings again, they found fifteen fathoms. ²⁹ And fearing lest we might fall somewhere on rocky places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were praying for day to come. ³⁰ And of the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship and having let down the lifeboat into the sea under pretense as being about to cast out anchors from the bow, ³¹ Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these remain in the ship, you are not able to be saved.” ³² Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the lifeboat, and allowed her to fall away. ³³ And until that day was about to come, Paul kept urging all to partake of food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you continue watching without eating, having taken nothing. ³⁴ Therefore I exhort you to take food, for this is for your preservation; for not one hair of your head will perish.” ³⁵ Now having said these things and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all; and having broken it, he began to eat. ³⁶ And all, having been encouraged, also took food themselves. ³⁷ And we were altogether two hundred seventy-six souls in the ship. ³⁸ Then having been filled with food, they began to lighten the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
