1And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

2And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

7And sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
Acts 27:21, Acts 27:21, Titus 1:5, Acts 27:12, Acts 27:13
8and coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.
9And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,
Numbers 29:7, Leviticus 23:27, Leviticus 23:29, Numbers 29:7, Leviticus 23:27
10saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
Amos 3:7, Acts 27:20, Acts 27:26, Acts 27:41, Acts 27:44
11But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.

15And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.
Acts 27:27, James 3:4, Acts 27:27, James 3:4
16And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;
17which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.
Acts 27:29, Acts 27:29, Acts 27:26, Acts 27:41, Acts 27:26
18And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;
Jonah 1:5, Jonah 1:5, Acts 27:38, Acts 27:38, Hebrews 12:1
19and the third day we cast out with our own hands the movables of the ship.
Job 2:4, Job 2:4, Luke 9:24, Luke 9:25, Jonah 1:5
20And as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was taken away.

21And after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.
Genesis 42:22, Psalms 107:5, Psalms 107:6, Genesis 42:22, Psalms 107:5
22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Acts 27:25, Acts 27:36, 2 Corinthians 4:8, 2 Corinthians 4:9, Acts 27:25
23For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Acts 23:11, Acts 23:11, 2 Timothy 4:17, Acts 5:19, Hebrews 1:14
24saying, Fear not, Paul! Thou must stand before Caesar; and lo, God hath given thee all those that sail with thee.
Acts 23:11, Acts 23:11, 2 Timothy 4:16, 2 Timothy 4:17, Matthew 10:28

33And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take food; saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye have waited, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34Wherefore I exhort you to take food; for this is for your safety; for there shall not a hair be lost from the head of one of you.
Matthew 10:30, Matthew 10:30, 1 Kings 1:52, 1 Kings 1:52, Luke 21:18

36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.

37And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.

38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain into the sea.
Jonah 1:5, Jonah 1:5, Matthew 6:25, Matthew 16:26, Acts 27:18
39And when it was day, they did not know the land; but they observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run the ship.
Acts 28:1, Acts 28:1
40And cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea, and at the same time unfastening the rudder-bands, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made toward the beach.
Isaiah 33:23, Acts 27:29, Acts 27:30, Isaiah 33:23, Acts 27:29
