Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Acts 27
⁹ Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,
¹⁰ saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives."
¹¹ Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.
¹² And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
¹³ When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.
¹⁴ But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.
¹⁵ So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.
¹⁶ And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.
¹⁷ When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.
¹⁸ And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.
¹⁹ On the third day we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands.
