Acts 27

The Message Bible MSG

1 As soon as arrangements were complete for our sailing to Italy, Paul and a few other prisoners were placed under the supervision of a centurion named Julius, a member of an elite guard.

2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium that was bound for Ephesus and ports west. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.

3 The next day we put in at Sidon. Julius treated Paul most decently - let him get off the ship and enjoy the hospitality of his friends there.

4 Out to sea again, we sailed north under the protection of the northeast shore of Cyprus because winds out of the west were against us,

5 and then along the coast westward to the port of Myra.

6 There the centurion found an Egyptian ship headed for Italy and transferred us on board.

7 We ran into bad weather and found it impossible to stay on course. After much difficulty, we finally made it to the southern coast of the island of Crete

8 and docked at Good Harbor (appropriate name!).

9 By this time we had lost a lot of time. We had passed the autumn equinox, so it would be stormy weather from now on through the winter, too dangerous for sailing. Paul warned,

10 "I see only disaster ahead for cargo and ship - to say nothing of our lives! - if we put out to sea now."

11 The centurion set Paul's warning aside and let the ship captain and the shipowner talk him into trying for the next harbor.

12 But it was not the best harbor for staying the winter. Phoenix, a few miles further on, was more suitable.

13 When a gentle southerly breeze came up, they weighed anchor, thinking it would be smooth sailing.

14 But they were no sooner out to sea than a gale-force wind, the infamous nor'easter, struck.

15 They lost all control of the ship. It was a cork in the storm.

16 We came under the lee of the small island named Clauda, and managed to get a lifeboat ready and reef the sails.

17 But rocky shoals prevented us from getting close. We only managed to avoid them by throwing out drift anchors.

18 Next day, out on the high seas again and badly damaged now by the storm, we dumped the cargo overboard.

19 The third day the sailors lightened the ship further by throwing off all the tackle and provisions.

20 It had been many days since we had seen either sun or stars. Wind and waves were battering us unmercifully, and we lost all hope of rescue.

21 With our appetite for both food and life long gone, Paul took his place in our midst and said, "Friends, you really should have listened to me back in Crete. We could have avoided all this trouble and trial.

22 But there's no need to dwell on that now. From now on, things are looking up! I can assure you that there'll not be a single drowning among us, although I can't say as much for the ship - the ship itself is doomed.

23 "Last night God's angel stood at my side, an angel of this God I serve,

24 saying to me, 'Don't give up, Paul. You're going to stand before Caesar yet - and everyone sailing with you is also going to make it.'

25 So, dear friends, take heart. I believe God will do exactly what he told me.

26 But we're going to shipwreck on some island or other."

27 On the fourteenth night, adrift somewhere on the Adriatic Sea, at about midnight the sailors sensed that we were approaching land.

28 Sounding, they measured a depth of one hundred twenty feet, and shortly after that ninety feet.

29 Afraid that we were about to run aground, they threw out four anchors and prayed for daylight.

30 Some of the sailors tried to jump ship. They let down the lifeboat, pretending they were going to set out more anchors from the bow.

31 Paul saw through their guise and told the centurion and his soldiers, "If these sailors don't stay with the ship, we're all going down."

32 So the soldiers cut the lines to the lifeboat and let it drift off.

33 With dawn about to break, Paul called everyone together and proposed breakfast: "This is the fourteenth day we've gone without food. None of us has felt like eating!

34 But I urge you to eat something now. You'll need strength for the rescue ahead. You're going to come out of this without even a scratch!"

35 He broke the bread, gave thanks to God, passed it around,

36 and they all ate heartily -

37 two hundred seventy-six of us, all told!

38 With the meal finished and everyone full, the ship was further lightened by dumping the grain overboard.

39 At daybreak, no one recognized the land - but then they did notice a bay with a nice beach. They decided to try to run the ship up on the beach.

40 They cut the anchors, loosed the tiller, raised the sail, and ran before the wind toward the beach.

41 But we didn't make it. Still far from shore, we hit a reef and the ship began to break up.

42 The soldiers decided to kill the prisoners so none could escape by swimming,

43 but the centurion, determined to save Paul, stopped them. He gave orders for anyone who could swim to dive in and go for it,

44 and for the rest to grab a plank. Everyone made it to shore safely.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ut autem iudicatum est eum navigare in Italiam et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Iulio cohortis Augustae

2 ascendentes autem navem hadrumetinam incipientem navigare circa Asiae loca sustulimus perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicense

3 sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem humane autem tractans Iulius Paulum permisit ad amicos ire et curam sui agere

4 et inde cum sustulissemus subnavigavimus Cypro propterea quod essent venti contrarii

5 et pelagus Ciliciae et Pamphiliae navigantes venimus Lystram quae est Lyciae

6 et ibi inveniens centurio navem alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam transposuit nos in eam

7 et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus et vix devenissemus contra Cnidum prohibente nos vento adnavigavimus Cretae secundum Salmonem

8 et vix iuxta navigantes venimus in locum quendam qui vocatur Boni portus cui iuxta erat civitas Thalassa

9 multo autem tempore peracto et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et ieiunium iam praeterisset consolabatur Paulus

10 dicens eis viri video quoniam cum iniuria et multo damno non solum oneris et navis sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio

11 centurio autem gubernatori et nauclerio magis credebat quam his quae a Paulo dicebantur

12 et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde si quo modo possent devenientes Phoenice hiemare portum Cretae respicientem ad africum et ad chorum

13 adspirante autem austro aestimantes propositum se tenere cum sustulissent de Asson legebant Cretam

14 non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus qui vocatur euroaquilo

15 cumque arrepta esset navis et non posset conari in ventum data nave flatibus ferebamur

16 insulam autem quandam decurrentes quae vocatur Caudam potuimus vix obtinere scapham

17 qua sublata adiutoriis utebantur accingentes navem timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent submisso vase sic ferebantur

18 valide autem nobis tempestate iactatis sequenti die iactum fecerunt

19 et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt

20 neque sole autem neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies et tempestate non exigua inminente iam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostrae

21 et cum multa ieiunatio fuisset tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum dixit oportebat quidem o viri audito me non tollere a Creta lucrique facere iniuriam hanc et iacturam

22 et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse amissio enim nullius animae erit ex vobis praeterquam navis

23 adstitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei cuius sum ego et cui deservio

24 dicens ne timeas Paule Caesari te oportet adsistere et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum

25 propter quod bono animo estote viri credo enim Deo quia sic erit quemadmodum dictum est mihi

26 in insulam autem quandam oportet nos devenire

27 sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit navigantibus nobis in Hadria circa mediam noctem suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem

28 qui submittentes invenerunt passus viginti et pusillum inde separati invenerunt passus quindecim

29 timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus de puppi mittentes anchoras quattuor optabant diem fieri

30 nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi cum misissent scapham in mare sub obtentu quasi a prora inciperent anchoras extendere

31 dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus nisi hii in navi manserint vos salvi fieri non potestis

32 tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae et passi sunt eam excidere

33 et cum lux inciperet fieri rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum dicens quartadecima hodie die expectantes ieiuni permanetis nihil accipientes

34 propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit

35 et cum haec dixisset sumens panem gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium et cum fregisset coepit manducare

36 animaequiores autem facti omnes et ipsi adsumpserunt cibum

37 eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex

38 et satiati cibo adleviabant navem iactantes triticum in mare

39 cum autem dies factus esset terram non agnoscebant sinum vero quendam considerabant habentem litus in quem cogitabant si possent eicere navem

40 et cum anchoras abstulissent committebant se mari simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum et levato artemone secundum flatum aurae tendebant ad litus

41 et cum incidissemus in locum bithalassum inpegerunt navem et prora quidem fixa manebat inmobilis puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris

42 militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent ne quis cum enatasset effugeret

43 centurio autem volens servare Paulum prohibuit fieri iussitque eos qui possent natare mittere se primos et evadere et ad terram exire

44 et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant quosdam super ea quae de navi essent et sic factum est ut omnes animae evaderent ad terram
