\subsection{Acts 27}
\VS{1} So as it was decided [that] we sail away to Italy, they delivered up Paul and some 
other prisoners to [the] centurion by name Julius of the Sebastus cohort. 
\VS{2} 
So having embarked in the boat of Adramuttium, we were brought [about] to be 
sailing to the places of Asia, Aristarchus of Macedonia of Thessalonia being 
with us. 
\VS{3} And on the next [day] we were brought down to Sidon, and Julius 
treating Paul kindly, he allowed him having gone to his friends to be 
attaining refreshment. 
\VS{4} And from there having been brought up we 
sailed under the lee of Cyrus because of the winds being opposite, 
\VS{5} and having sailed through the ocean of Sicily and Pamphilia, we came down to 
Myre of Lycia. 
\VS{6} And there the centurion having found [an] Alexandrian boat 
sailing to Italy he put us aboard it. 
\VS{7} So several days sailing slowly 
and scarcely coming to be by Knidos, the wind not permitting us further, we 
sailed under the lee of Crete beneath Salmonene, 
\VS{8} and scarcely 
coasting along it, we came to [a] certain place being called Kalos harbor, to 
which [a] city, Lasaia, was near. 
\VS{9} So several days having elapsed and the 
voyage of the ship already being dangerous because of the Fast\footnote{i.e. 
the Day of Atonement} already having passed, Paul recommended, 
\VS{10} saying to them: Men, I behold that with hardship and much loss not only of 
cargo and of ship but also of our psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} [is] the voyage [about] to be. 
\VS{11} But the 
centurion was persuaded by the steersman and the captain\footnote{or 
shipowner} rather than by the [things] said by Paul. 
\VS{12} So the harbor being 
unfavorable for wintering, those sailing placed intention to be brought from 
there, if perhaps they might be able, having arrived to Phoenicia, to spend 
the winter, [which is a] harbor of Crete, lying by southwest and by northwest. 
\VS{13} So when the south-wind favorably blew, having supposed to have attained 
[their] purpose, having set out they sailed close by Crete. 
\VS{14} But not long 
after, [a] gale wind called Euraquilo threw upon them, 
\VS{15} so the boat 
having been seized and not being able to be facing the wind, having given 
in, we were being carried [by it]. 
\VS{16} Now having run under the lee of a 
certain island called Clauda we were barely able to be in control of the 
skiff, 
\VS{17} which having lifted, they used with helps, undergirdling the 
ship; and fearing lest they run aground on Syrtis, having let down the 
kedge, thus were they carried. 
\VS{18} So we being violently tossed on the 
next [day], they were doing jettison, 
\VS{19} And on the third [day] they threw out 
with their own hands the ship's gear. 
\VS{20} So neither sun nor stars 
shining upon the ship for days, and winter having laid upon [us] not [a] little, 
all hope of us being saved left the rest. 
\VS{21} And there having been much 
absence of food, then having stood in their midst Paul said: It was 
necessary, O men, having been obedient to me, not to go up from Crete to 
avoid both this hardship and loss. 
\VS{22} And now I urge you to be being of 
good cheer, for there will be loss of no psyche-life\fnPsyche{} among you, except the ship. 
\VS{23} For there stood to me this night [an] angel of the God whose I am, to 
whom I also minister, 
\VS{27} saying: Be not fearing, Paul. You must stand 
before Caesar, and behold God has granted to you all those sailing with you. 
\VS{25} Therefore be of good cheer, men, for I believe in God that thus it 
will be according to which manner he has spoken to me. 
\VS{26} Now it is 
necessary we be running aground on a certain island. 
\VS{27} Now as fourteen 
nights came to pass, we being carried [about] in Adrian [Sea], in the middle of the 
night the sailors were supposing they were approaching some country. 
\VS{28} 
And having taken soundings they found twenty fathoms, so having gone on [a] 
little and again having taken soundings they found fifteen fathoms. 
\VS{29} 
And fearing lest we run aground upon rocky places, having thrown four 
anchors from the stern they were praying for day to come to pass. 
\VS{30} Now when the sailors were seeking to flee from the ship and having let down 
the skiff to the sea, in pretense that from [the] stern being [about] to let out 
anchors, 
\VS{31} Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: If these do 
not remain in the boat, you are not able to be saved. 
\VS{32} Then the 
soldiers cut off the ropes of the skiff and allowed it to fall. 
\VS{33} Now 
until day was [about] to come to pass, Paul called upon all to receive nourishment 
saying: Fourteen days today having waited without eating have you remained, 
taking nothing. 
\VS{34} Therefore I call upon you to receive nourishment, 
for this is towards your salvation. For [a] hair from the head of none [of you] will 
perish. 
\VS{35} So having said these [things] and having taken bread, he thanked God 
before all, and having broken [it] he began to be eating. 
\VS{36} So all having 
become of good cheer, they themselves also received nourishment. 
\VS{37} So we were in all, in the boat, two hundred seventy six psyche-lives\fnPsyche{}. 
\VS{38} So having 
satiated with nourishment, they were lightening the boat throwing the wheat 
out into the sea. 
\VS{39} So when day came to pass, they did not know the 
land, but they were observing a certain bay having [a] beach, to which they 
were intending, if they might be able, to run the ship aground. 
\VS{40} And 
having removed the anchors, they were let into the sea, at the same time 
having unfastened the ropes of the rudder, and having raised the foresail to 
the wind, they made for the beach. 
\VS{41} So having struck [a] sand-bar they 
ran the ship aground, and the bow, having jammed, remained unmoved, but the 
stern was loosed by the force. 
\VS{42} Now [the] intention of the soldiers came 
to be that they should kill the prisoners, lest any having swum should 
escape. 
\VS{43} But the centurion, intending to save Paul, hindered them of 
[this] intention, and ordered those being able to swim to first go out to the 
land, 
\VS{44} and the rest, some on planks, and some upon certain of [the flotsam] from 
the ship. And thus it came to be [that] all were saved to the land.
