1When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were transferred to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the emperor's division.

1When it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Imperial Regiment.

2After boarding a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to the ports on the coast of Asia, we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.

2When we had boarded a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, intending to sail to ports along the coast of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.

3The next day, we arrived at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly allowing him to visit his friends there and to receive any care he needed.

3The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.

4After putting out from there, we sailed on the sheltered side of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

4When we had put out to sea from there, we sailed along the northern coast of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5We sailed along the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia and reached Myra in Lycia.

5After sailing through the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.

6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put us on it.

6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

7We sailed slowly for a number of days and with difficulty arrived off Cnidus. Then, because the wind was against us, we sailed on the sheltered side of Crete off Cape Salome.

7Sailing slowly for many days, with difficulty we arrived off Cnidus. Since the wind did not allow us to approach it, we sailed along the south side of Crete off Salmone.

8Sailing past it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

8With still more difficulty we sailed along the coast and came to a place called Fair Havens near the city of Lasea.

9Much time had been lost, and because navigation had become dangerous and the day of fasting had already past, Paul began to warn those on the ship,

9By now much time had passed, and the voyage was already dangerous. Since the Day of Atonement was already over, Paul gave his advice

10"Men, I see that during this voyage there will be hardship and a heavy loss not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives."

10and told them, "Men, I can see that this voyage is headed toward disaster and heavy loss, not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives."

11But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship and not by what Paul said.

11But the centurion paid attention to the captain and the owner of the ship rather than to what Paul said.

12Since the harbor was not a good place to spend the winter, most of the men favored putting out to sea from there on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix and spend the winter there. It is a Cretian harbor that faces southwest and northwest.

12Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to set sail from there, hoping somehow to reach Phoenix, a harbor on Crete facing the southwest and northwest, and to winter there.

13When a gentle breeze began to blow from the south, they thought they could make it to Phoenix, so they hoisted anchor and began sailing along the shore of Crete.

13When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought they had achieved their purpose. They weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.

14But it was not long before a violent wind (called a northeaster) swept down from the island.

14But before long, a fierce wind called the "northeaster" rushed down from the island.

15The ship was caught so that it couldn't face the wind, and we gave up and were swept along.

15Since the ship was caught and unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

16As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the ship's lifeboat.

16After running under the shelter of a little island called Cauda, we were barely able to get control of the skiff.

17The ship's crew pulled it up on deck and used ropes to brace the ship. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank near Libya, they lowered the sail and drifted along.

17After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the drift-anchor, and in this way they were driven along.

18The next day, because we were being tossed so violently by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard.

18Because we were being severely battered by the storm, they began to jettison the cargo the next day.

19On the third day they threw the ship's equipment overboard with their own hands.

19On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.

20For a number of days neither the sun nor the stars were to be seen, and the storm continued to rage until at last all hope of our being saved vanished.

20For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope was fading that we would be saved.

21After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood among his shipmates and said, "Men, you should have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would have avoided this hardship and damage.

21Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul then stood up among them and said, "You men should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete and sustain this damage and loss.

22But now I urge you to have courage, because there will be no loss of life among you, but only loss of the ship.

22Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship.

23For just last night an angel of God, to whom I belong and whom I serve, stood by me

23For last night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by me

24and said, 'Stop being afraid, Paul! You must stand before the emperor. Indeed, God has given to you the lives of everyone who is sailing with you.'

24and said, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. It is necessary for you to appear before Caesar. And indeed, God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.'

25So take courage, men, because I trust God that it will turn out just as he told me.

25So take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me.

26However, we will have to run aground on some island."

26But we have to run aground on some island."

27It was the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors suspected that land was near.

27When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea, and about midnight the sailors thought they were approaching land.

28After taking soundings, they found the depth to be twenty fathoms. A little later, they took soundings again and found it was fifteen fathoms.

28They took soundings and found it to be a hundred and twenty feet deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be ninety feet deep.

29Fearing that we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and began praying for daylight to come.

29Then, fearing we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come.

30Meanwhile, the sailors had begun trying to escape from the ship. They lowered the lifeboat into the sea and pretended that they were going to lay out the anchors from the bow.

30Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow.

31Paul told the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men remain onboard, you cannot be saved."

31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."

32Then the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and set it adrift.

32Then the soldiers cut the ropes holding the skiff and let it drop away.

33Right up to daybreak Paul kept urging all of them to eat something. He said, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and going without food, not eating anything.

33When it was about daylight, Paul urged them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and going without food, having eaten nothing.

34So I urge you to eat something, for it will help you survive, since none of you will lose so much as a hair from his head."

34So I urge you to take some food. For this is for your survival, since none of you will lose a hair from your head."

35After he said this, he took some bread, thanked God in front of everyone, broke it, and began to eat.

35After he said these things and had taken some bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all of them, and after he broke it, he began to eat.

36Everyone was encouraged and had something to eat.

36They all were encouraged and took food themselves.

37There were 276 of us on the ship.

37In all there were 276 of us on the ship.

38After they had eaten all they wanted, they began to lighten the ship by dumping its cargo of wheat into the sea.

38When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the grain overboard into the sea.

39When day came, they didn't recognize the land, but they could see a bay with a beach on which they planned to run the ship ashore, if possible.

39When daylight came, they did not recognize the land but sighted a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore if they could.

40So they cut the anchors free and left them in the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes that held the steering oars, raised the foresail to the wind, and headed for the beach.

40After cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and headed for the beach.

41But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow stuck and couldn't be moved, while the stern was broken to pieces by the force of the waves.

41But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow jammed fast and remained immovable, while the stern began to break up by the pounding of the waves.

42The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners to keep them from swimming ashore and escaping,

42The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners so that no one could swim away and escape.

43but the centurion wanted to save Paul, so he prevented them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.

43But the centurion kept them from carrying out their plan because he wanted to save Paul, and so he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.

44The rest were to follow, some on planks and others on various pieces of the ship. In this way everyone got to shore safely.

44The rest were to follow, some on planks and some on debris from the ship. In this way, everyone safely reached the shore.
