16
And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17
and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18
And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the [the freight] overboard;
19
and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20
And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us,] all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.
23
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.
25
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.
