Acts 27:7	Acts	27	7	And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
Acts 27:8	Acts	27	8	And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
Acts 27:9	Acts	27	9	Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
Acts 27:10	Acts	27	10	And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
Acts 27:11	Acts	27	11	Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
Acts 27:12	Acts	27	12	And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
Acts 27:13	Acts	27	13	And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

Acts 27:15	Acts	27	15	And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
Acts 27:16	Acts	27	16	And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Acts 27:17	Acts	27	17	Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
Acts 27:18	Acts	27	18	And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
Acts 27:19	Acts	27	19	And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
Acts 27:20	Acts	27	20	And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
Acts 27:21	Acts	27	21	But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Acts 27:22	Acts	27	22	And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
Acts 27:23	Acts	27	23	For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Acts 27:24	Acts	27	24	Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Acts 27:25	Acts	27	25	Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Acts 27:26	Acts	27	26	Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
Acts 27:27	Acts	27	27	But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
Acts 27:28	Acts	27	28	And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
Acts 27:29	Acts	27	29	Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Acts 27:30	Acts	27	30	And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
Acts 27:31	Acts	27	31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Acts 27:32	Acts	27	32	Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Acts 27:33	Acts	27	33	And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
Acts 27:34	Acts	27	34	Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Acts 27:35	Acts	27	35	And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
Acts 27:36	Acts	27	36	Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
Acts 27:37	Acts	27	37	And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
Acts 27:38	Acts	27	38	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Acts 27:39	Acts	27	39	And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Acts 27:40	Acts	27	40	And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
Acts 27:41	Acts	27	41	And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
Acts 27:42	Acts	27	42	And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Acts 27:43	Acts	27	43	But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
Acts 27:44	Acts	27	44	And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

Acts 25:5

Acts

25

5

Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

Acts 25:6

Acts

25

6

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

Acts 25:7

Acts

25

7

And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

Acts 25:8

Acts

25

8

While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.

Acts 25:9

Acts

25

9

But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

Acts 25:10

Acts

25

10

Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

Acts 25:11

Acts

25

11

For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

Acts 25:12

Acts

25

12

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

Acts 25:13

Acts

25

13

And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.

Acts 25:14

Acts

25

14

And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

Acts 25:15

Acts

25

15

About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.

Acts 25:16

Acts

25

16

To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

Acts 25:17

Acts

25

17

Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

Acts 25:18

Acts

25

18

Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:

Acts 25:19

Acts

25

19

But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

Acts 25:20

Acts

25

20

And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

Acts 25:21

Acts

25

21

But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

Acts 25:22

Acts

25

22

Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

Acts 25:23

Acts

25

23

And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.

Acts 25:24

Acts

25

24

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

Acts 25:25

Acts

25

But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

Acts 25:26

Acts

25

26

Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

Acts 25:27

Acts

25

27

For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

Acts 26:1

Acts

26

1

Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

Acts 26:2

Acts

26

2

I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

Acts 26:3

Acts

26

3

Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

Acts 26:4

Acts

26

4

My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

Acts 26:5

Acts

26

5

Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

Acts 26:6

Acts

26

6

And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:

Acts 26:7

Acts

26

7

Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

Acts 26:8

Acts

26

8

Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

Acts 26:9

Acts

26

9

I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Acts 26:10

Acts

26

10

Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

Acts 26:11

Acts

26

11

And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

Acts 26:12

Acts

26

12

Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

Acts 26:13

Acts

26

13

At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.

Acts 26:14

Acts

26

14

And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Acts 26:15

Acts

26

15

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

Acts 26:16

Acts

26

16

But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

Acts 26:17

Acts

26

17

Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

Acts 26:18

Acts

26

18

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Acts 26:19

Acts

26

19

Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

Acts 26:20

Acts

26

20

But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Acts 26:21

Acts

26

21

For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.

Acts 26:22

Acts

26

22

Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

Acts 26:23

Acts

26

23

That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

Acts 26:24

Acts

26

24

And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

Acts 26:25

Acts

26

25

But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

Acts 26:26

Acts

26

For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

Acts 26:27

Acts

26

27

King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

Acts 26:28

Acts

26

28

Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Acts 26:29

Acts

26

29

And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

Acts 26:30

Acts

26

30

And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

Acts 26:31

Acts

26

31

And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

Acts 26:32

Acts

26

32

Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

Acts 27:1

Acts

27

1

And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

Acts 27:2

Acts

27

2

And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

Acts 27:3

Acts

27

3

And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

Acts 27:4

Acts

27

4

And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

Acts 27:5

Acts

27

5

And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

Acts 27:6

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

Acts 27:8

Acts

27

8

And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

Acts 27:9

Acts

27

9

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

Acts 27:10

Acts

27

10

And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

Acts 27:11

Acts

27

11

Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

Acts 27:12

Acts

27

12

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

Acts 27:13

Acts

27

13

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

Acts 27:14

Acts

27

14

But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

Acts 27:15

Acts

27

15

And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

Acts 27:16

Acts

27

16

And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

Acts 27:17

Acts

27

17

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

Acts 27:18

Acts

27

18

And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

Acts 27:19

Acts

27

19

And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

Acts 27:20

Acts

27

20

And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

Acts 27:21

Acts

27

21

But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

Acts 27:22

Acts

27

22

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

Acts 27:23

Acts

27

23

For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

Acts 27:24

Acts

27

24

Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

Acts 27:25

Acts

27

25

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

Acts 27:26

Acts

27

26

Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

Acts 27:27

Acts

27

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

Acts 27:28

Acts

27

28

And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

Acts 27:29

Acts

27

29

Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

Acts 27:30

Acts

27

30

And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

Acts 27:31

Acts

27

31

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

Acts 27:32

Acts

27

32

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

Acts 27:33

Acts

27

33

And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

Acts 27:34

Acts

27

34

Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

Acts 27:35

Acts

27

35

And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

Acts 27:36

Acts

27

36

Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

Acts 27:37

Acts

27

37

And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

Acts 27:38

Acts

27

38

And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

Acts 27:39

Acts

27

39

And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

Acts 27:40

Acts

27

40

And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

Acts 27:41

Acts

27

41

And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

Acts 27:42

Acts

27

42

And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

Acts 27:43

Acts

27

43

But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

Acts 27:44

Acts

27

44

And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
