¹When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they were escaped^G1295^(G5685), then^G5119 they knew^G1921^(G5627) that^G3754 the island^G3520 was called^G2564^(G5743) Melita^G3194.

² The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.

KJVAnd^G1161 the barbarous people^G915 shewed^G3930^(G5707) us^G2254 no^G3756 little^G5177^(G5631) kindness^G5363: for^G1063 they kindled^G381^(G5660) a fire^G4443, and received^G4355^(G5639) us^G2248 every one^G3956, because^G1223 of the present^G2186^(G5761) rain^G5205, and^G2532 because^G1223 of the cold^G5592.

³ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.

KJVAnd^G1161 when Paul^G3972 had gathered^G4962^(G5660) a bundle^G4128 of sticks^G5434, and^G2532 laid^G2007^(G5631) them on^G1909 the fire^G4443, there came^G1831^(G5631) a viper^G2191 out of^G1537 the heat^G2329, and fastened on^G2510^(G5656) his^G846 hand^G5495.

⁴ When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 the barbarians^G915 saw^G1492^(G5627) the venomous beast^G2342 hang^G2910^(G5734) on^G1537 his^G846 hand^G5495, they said^G3004^(G5707) among^G4314 themselves^G240, No doubt^G3843 this^G3778 man^G444 is^G2076^(G5748) a murderer^G5406, whom^G3739, though he hath escaped^G1295^(G5685)^G1537 the sea^G2281, yet vengeance^G1349 suffereth^G1439^(G5656) not^G3756 to live^G2198^(G5721).

⁵ However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

KJVAnd^G3303^G3767 he shook off^G660^(G5660) the beast^G2342 into^G1519 the fire^G4442, and felt^G3958^(G5627) no^G3762 harm^G2556.

⁶ But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

KJVHowbeit^G1161 they looked^G4328^(G5707) when he^G846 should^G3195^(G5721) have swollen^G4092^(G5745), or^G2228 fallen down^G2667^(G5721) dead^G3498 suddenly^G869: but^G1161 after they^G846 had looked^G4328^(G5723) a great while^G1909^G4183, and^G2532 saw^G2334^(G5723) no^G3367 harm^G824 come^G1096^(G5740) to^G1519 him^G846, they changed their minds^G3328^(G5734), and said^G3004^(G5707) that he^G846 was^G1511^(G5750) a god^G2316.

⁷ Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.

KJV^G1161 In^G1722^G4012 the same^G1565 quarters^G5117 were^G5225^(G5707) possessions^G5564 of the chief man^G4413 of the island^G3520, whose name was^G3686 Publius^G4196; who^G3739 received^G324^(G5666) us^G2248, and lodged us^G3579^(G5656) three^G5140 days^G2250 courteously^G5390.

⁸ The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that the father^G3962 of Publius^G4196 lay^G2621^(G5738) sick of^G4912^(G5746) a fever^G4446 and^G2532 of a bloody flux^G1420: to^G4314 whom^G3739 Paul^G3972 entered in^G1525^(G5631), and^G2532 prayed^G4336^(G5666), and laid^G2007 his hands^G5495 on^G2007^(G5631) him^G846, and healed^G2390^(G5662) him^G846.

⁹ Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.

KJVSo^G3767 when^G1096 this^G5127 was done^G1096^(G5637), others^G3062 also^G2532, which^G3588 had^G2192^(G5723) diseases^G769 in^G1722 the island^G3520, came^G4334^(G5711), and^G2532 were healed^G2323^(G5712):

¹⁰ They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.

KJVWho^G3739 also^G2532 honoured^G5092 us^G2248 with many^G4183 honours^G5091^(G5656); and^G2532 when we departed^G321^(G5746), they laded^G2007^(G5639) us with such things as^G4314 were necessary^G5532.

¹¹ After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”

KJVAnd^G1161 after^G3326 three^G5140 months^G3376 we departed^G321^(G5681) in^G1722 a ship^G4143 of Alexandria^G222, which had wintered^G3914^(G5761) in^G1722 the isle^G3520, whose sign^G3902 was Castor and Pollux^G1359.

¹² Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

KJVAnd^G2532 landing^G2609^(G5685) at^G1519 Syracuse^G4946, we tarried^G1961^(G5656) there three^G5140 days^G2250.

¹³ From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,

KJVAnd from thence^G3606 we fetched a compass^G4022^(G5631), and came^G2658^(G5656) to^G1519 Rhegium^G4484: and^G2532 after^G3326 one^G3391 day^G2250 the south wind^G3558 blew^G1920^(G5637), and we came^G2064^(G5627) the next day^G1206 to^G1519 Puteoli^G4223:

¹⁴ where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.

KJVWhere^G3757 we found^G2147^(G5631) brethren^G80, and were desired^G3870^(G5681) to tarry^G1961^(G5658) with^G1909 them^G846 seven^G2033 days^G2250: and^G2532 so^G3779 we went^G2064^(G5627) toward^G1519 Rome^G4516.

¹⁵ From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

KJVAnd from thence^G2547, when the brethren^G80 heard^G191^(G5660) of^G4012 us^G2257, they came^G1831^(G5627) to meet^G529^G1519 us^G2254 as far as^G891 Appii^G675 forum^G5410, and^G2532 The three^G5140 taverns^G4999: whom^G3739 when Paul^G3972 saw^G1492^(G5631), he thanked^G2168^(G5660) God^G2316, and took^G2983^(G5627) courage^G2294.

¹⁶ When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3753 we came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Rome^G4516, the centurion^G1543 delivered^G3860^(G5656) the prisoners^G1198 to the captain of the guard^G4759: but^G1161 Paul^G3972 was suffered^G2010^(G5681) to dwell^G3306^(G5721) by^G2596 himself^G1438 with^G4862 a soldier^G4757 that kept^G5442^(G5723) him^G846.

¹⁷ After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that after^G3326 three^G5140 days^G2250 Paul^G3972 called^G4779 the chief^G4413^G5607^(G5752) of the Jews^G2453 together^G4779^(G5670): and^G1161 when they^G846 were come together^G4905^(G5631), he said^G3004^(G5707) unto^G4314 them^G846, Men^G435 and brethren^G80, though I^G1473 have committed^G4160^(G5660) nothing^G3762 against^G1727 the people^G2992, or^G2228 customs^G1485 of our fathers^G3971, yet was I delivered^G3860^(G5681) prisoner^G1198 from^G1537 Jerusalem^G2414 into^G1519 the hands^G5495 of the Romans^G4514.

¹⁸ who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.

KJVWho^G3748, when they had examined^G350^(G5660) me^G3165, would^G1014^(G5711) have let me go^G630^(G5658), because^G1223 there was^G5225^(G5721) no^G3367 cause^G156 of death^G2288 in^G1722 me^G1698.

¹⁹ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

KJVBut^G1161 when the Jews^G2453 spake against^G483^(G5723) it, I was constrained^G315^(G5681) to appeal^G1941^(G5670) unto Caesar^G2541; not^G3756 that^G5613 I had^G2192^(G5723) ought^G5100 to accuse^G2723 my^G3450 nation^G1484 of^G2723^(G5658).

²⁰ For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

KJVFor^G1223 this^G5026 cause^G156 therefore^G3767 have I called^G3870^(G5656) for you^G5209, to see^G1492^(G5629) you, and^G2532 to speak with^G4354^(G5658) you: because that^G1752 for^G1063 the hope^G1680 of Israel^G2474 I am bound with^G4029^(G5736) this^G5026 chain^G254.

²¹ They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

KJVAnd^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, We^G2249 neither^G3777 received^G1209^(G5662) letters^G1121 out of^G575 Judaea^G2449 concerning^G4012 thee^G4675, neither^G3777 any^G5100 of the brethren^G80 that came^G3854^(G5637) shewed^G518^(G5656) or^G2228 spake^G2980^(G5656) any^G5100 harm^G4190 of^G4012 thee^G4675.

²² But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”

KJVBut^G1161 we desire^G515^(G5719) to hear^G191^(G5658) of^G3844 thee^G4675 what^G3739 thou thinkest^G5426^(G5719): for^G1063 as concerning^G4012^G3303 this^G5026 sect^G139, we^G2254 know^G2076^(G5748)^G1110 that^G3754 every where^G3837 it is spoken against^G483^(G5743).

²³ When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they had appointed^G5021^(G5671) him^G846 a day^G2250, there came^G2240^(G5707) many^G4119 to^G4314 him^G846 into^G1519 his lodging^G3578; to whom^G3739 he expounded^G1620^(G5710) and testified^G1263^(G5740) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316,^G5037 persuading^G3982^(G5723) them^G846 concerning^G4012 Jesus^G2424, both^G5037 out of^G575 the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475, and^G2532 out of the prophets^G4396, from^G575 morning^G4404 till^G2193 evening^G2073.

²⁴ Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

KJVAnd^G2532 some^G3303 believed^G3982^(G5712) the things which were spoken^G3004^(G5746), and^G1161 some believed not^G569^(G5707).

²⁵ When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

KJVAnd^G1161 when they agreed not^G800^G5607^(G5752) among^G4314 themselves^G240, they departed^G630^(G5710), after that Paul^G3972 had spoken^G2036^(G5631) one^G1520 word^G4487,^G3754 Well^G2573 spake^G2980^(G5656) the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 by^G1223 Esaias^G2268 the prophet^G4396 unto^G4314 our^G2257 fathers^G3962,

²⁶ saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Go^G4198^(G5676) unto^G4314 this^G5126 people^G2992, and^G2532 say^G2036^(G5628), Hearing^G189 ye shall hear^G191^(G5692), and^G2532 shall^G4920 not^G3364 understand^G4920^(G5655); and^G2532 seeing^G991^(G5723) ye shall see^G991^(G5692), and^G2532 not^G3364 perceive^G1492^(G5632):

²⁷ For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’

KJVFor^G1063 the heart^G2588 of this^G5127 people^G2992 is waxed gross^G3975^(G5681), and^G2532 their ears^G3775 are dull^G917 of hearing^G191^(G5656), and^G2532 their^G846 eyes^G3788 have they closed^G2576^(G5656); lest^G3379 they should see^G1492^(G5632) with their eyes^G3788, and^G2532 hear^G191^(G5661) with their ears^G3775, and^G2532 understand^G4920^(G5632) with their heart^G2588, and^G2532 should be converted^G1994^(G5661), and^G2532 I should heal^G2390^(G5667) them^G846.

²⁸ “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”

KJVBe it^G2077^(G5749) known^G1110 therefore^G3767 unto you^G5213, that^G3754 the salvation^G4992 of God^G2316 is sent^G649^(G5648) unto the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 that they will hear^G191^(G5695) it^G846.

²⁹ When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he^G846 had said^G2036^(G5631) these words^G5023, the Jews^G2453 departed^G565^(G5627), and had^G2192^(G5723) great^G4183 reasoning^G4803 among^G1722 themselves^G1438.

³⁰ Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,

KJVAnd^G1161 Paul^G3972 dwelt^G3306^(G5656) two^G1333 whole^G3650 years^G1333 in^G1722 his own^G2398 hired house^G3410, and^G2532 received^G588^(G5711) all^G3956 that came in^G1531^(G5740) unto^G4314 him^G846,

³¹ preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

KJVPreaching^G2784^(G5723) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, and^G2532 teaching^G1321^(G5723) those things which concern^G4012 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, with^G3326 all^G3956 confidence^G3954, no man forbidding him^G209.

WEB·Acts 27

¹When 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.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 it was determined^G2919^(G5681) that we^G2248 should sail^G636^(G5721) into^G1519 Italy^G2482, they delivered^G3860^(G5707)^G5037 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 certain^G5100 other^G2087 prisoners^G1202 unto one named^G3686 Julius^G2457, a centurion^G1543 of Augustus^G4575' band^G4686.

² Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.

KJVAnd^G1161 entering^G1910^(G5631) into a ship^G4143 of Adramyttium^G98, we launched^G321^(G5681), meaning^G3195^(G5723) to sail^G4126^(G5721) by^G2596 the coasts^G5117 of Asia^G773; one Aristarchus^G708, a Macedonian^G3110 of Thessalonica^G2331, being^G5607^(G5752) with^G4862 us^G2254.

³ The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

KJVAnd^G5037 the next^G2087 day we touched^G2609^(G5648) at^G1519 Sidon^G4605. And^G5037 Julius^G2457 courteously^G5364 entreated^G5530^(G5666) Paul^G3972, and gave him liberty^G2010^(G5656) to go^G4198^(G5679) unto^G4314 his friends^G5384 to refresh himself^G5177^(G5629)^G1958.

⁴ Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

KJVAnd^G2547 when we had launched^G321^(G5685) from thence^G2547, we sailed under^G5284^(G5656) Cyprus^G2954, because^G1223 the winds^G417 were^G1511^(G5750) contrary^G1727.

⁵ When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

KJVAnd^G5037 when we had sailed over^G1277^(G5660) the sea^G3989 of^G2596 Cilicia^G2791 and^G2532 Pamphylia^G3828, we came^G2718^(G5627) to^G1519 Myra^G3460, a city of Lycia^G3073.

⁶ There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

KJVAnd there^G2546 the centurion^G1543 found^G2147^(G5631) a ship^G4143 of Alexandria^G222 sailing^G4126^(G5723) into^G1519 Italy^G2482; and he put^G1688^(G5656) us^G2248 therein^G1519^G846.

⁷ When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

KJVAnd^G1161 when we had sailed slowly^G1020^(G5723)^G1722 many^G2425 days^G2250, and^G2532 scarce^G3433 were come^G1096^(G5637) over against^G2596 Cnidus^G2834, the wind^G417 not^G3361 suffering^G4330^(G5723) us^G2248, we sailed under^G5284^(G5656) Crete^G2914, over against^G2596 Salmone^G4534;

⁸ With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

KJVAnd^G5037, hardly^G3433 passing^G3881^(G5740) it^G846, came^G2064^(G5627) unto^G1519 a^G5100 place^G5117 which is called^G2564^(G5746) The fair^G2570 havens^G2568^G3040; nigh^G1451 whereunto^G3739 was^G2258^(G5713) the city^G4172 of Lasea^G2996.

⁹ When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them

KJVNow^G1161 when much^G2425 time^G5550 was spent^G1230^(G5637), and^G2532 when sailing^G4144 was^G5607^(G5752) now^G2235 dangerous^G2000, because^G1223 the fast^G3521 was^G3928 now^G2532 already^G2235 past^G3928^(G5755), Paul^G3972 admonished^G3867^(G5707) them,

¹⁰ and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”

KJVAnd said^G3004^(G5723) unto them^G846, Sirs^G435, I perceive^G2334^(G5719) that^G3754 this voyage^G4144 will be^G3195^(G5721)^G1510^(G5705) with^G3326 hurt^G5196 and^G2532 much^G4183 damage^G2209, not^G3756 only^G3440 of the lading^G5414 and^G2532 ship^G4143, but^G235 also^G2532 of our^G2257 lives^G5590.

¹¹ But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

KJVNevertheless^G1161 the centurion^G1543 believed^G3982^(G5712) the master^G2942 and^G2532 the owner of the ship^G3490, more^G3123 than^G2228 those things which were spoken^G3004^(G5746) by^G5259 Paul^G3972.

¹² Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking southwest and northwest.

KJVAnd^G1161 because^G5225 the haven^G3040 was^G5225^(G5723) not commodious^G428 to^G4314 winter in^G3915, the more part^G4119 advised^G1012^G5087^(G5639) to depart^G321^(G5683) thence also^G2547, if^G1513 by any means^G4458 they might^G1410^(G5739) attain^G2658^(G5660) to^G1519 Phenice^G5405, and there to winter^G3914^(G5658); which is an haven^G3040 of Crete^G2914, and lieth^G991^(G5723) toward^G2596 the south west^G3047 and^G2532^G2596 north west^G5566.

¹³ When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

KJVAnd^G1161 when the south wind^G3558 blew softly^G5285^(G5660), supposing^G1380^(G5660) that they had obtained^G2902^(G5760) their purpose^G4286, loosing^G142^(G5660) thence, they sailed^G3881^(G5711) close by^G788 Crete^G2914.

¹⁴ But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

KJVBut^G1161 not^G3756 long^G4183 after^G3326 there arose^G906^(G5627) against^G2596 it^G846 a tempestuous^G5189 wind^G417, called^G2564^(G5746) Euroclydon^G2148.

¹⁵ When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

KJVAnd^G1161 when the ship^G4143 was caught^G4884^(G5685), and^G2532 could^G1410^(G5740) not^G3361 bear up into^G503^(G5721) the wind^G417, we let her drive^G1929^(G5631)^G5342^(G5712).

¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

KJVAnd^G1161 running under^G5295^(G5631) a certain^G5100 island^G3519 which is called^G2564^(G5746) Clauda^G2802, we had^G2480 much^G3433 work^G2480^(G5656) to come by^G4031^G1096^(G5635) the boat^G4627:

¹⁷ After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

KJVWhich^G3739 when they had taken up^G142^(G5660), they used^G5530^(G5711) helps^G996, undergirding^G5269^(G5723) the ship^G4143; and^G5037, fearing^G5399^(G5740) lest^G3361 they should fall^G1601^(G5632) into^G1519 the quicksands^G4950, strake^G5465^(G5660) sail^G4632, and so^G3779 were driven^G5342^(G5712).

¹⁸ As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

KJVAnd^G1161 we^G2257 being exceedingly^G4971 tossed with a tempest^G5492^(G5746), the next^G1836 day they lightened the ship^G1546^G4160^(G5710);

¹⁹ On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

KJVAnd^G2532 the third^G5154 day we cast out^G4496^(G5656) with our own hands^G849 the tackling^G4631 of the ship^G4143.

²⁰ When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

KJVAnd^G1161 when neither^G3383 sun^G2246 nor^G3383 stars^G798 in^G1909 many^G4119 days^G2250 appeared^G2014^(G5723), and^G5037 no^G3756 small^G3641 tempest^G5494 lay on^G1945^(G5740) us, all^G3956 hope^G1680 that we^G2248 should be saved^G4982^(G5745) was^G4014 then^G3063 taken away^G4014^(G5712).

²¹ When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss.

KJVBut^G1161 after^G5225^(G5723) long^G4183 abstinence^G776^G5119 Paul^G3972 stood forth^G2476^(G5685) in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of them^G846, and said^G2036^(G5627), Sirs^G5599^G435, ye should^G1163^(G5713)^G3303 have hearkened^G3980^(G5660) unto me^G3427, and not^G3361 have loosed^G321^(G5745) from^G575 Crete^G2914, and^G5037 to have gained^G2770^(G5658) this^G5026 harm^G5196 and^G2532 loss^G2209.

²² Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3569 I exhort^G3867^(G5719) you^G5209 to be of good cheer^G2114^(G5721): for^G1063 there shall be^G2071^(G5704) no^G3762 loss^G580 of any man's life^G5590 among^G1537 you^G5216, but^G4133 of the ship^G4143.

²³ For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

KJVFor^G1063 there stood by^G3936^(G5627) me^G3427 this^G5026 night^G3571 the angel^G32 of God^G2316, whose^G3739 I am^G1510^(G5748), and^G2532 whom^G3739 I serve^G3000^(G5719),

²⁴ saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Fear^G5399^(G5737) not^G3361, Paul^G3972; thou^G4571 must^G1163^(G5748) be brought before^G3936^(G5629) Caesar^G2541: and^G2532, lo^G2400^(G5628), God^G2316 hath given^G5483^(G5766) thee^G4671 all^G3956 them that sail^G4126^(G5723) with^G3326 thee^G4675.

²⁵ Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

KJVWherefore^G1352, sirs^G435, be of good cheer^G2114^(G5720): for^G1063 I believe^G4100^(G5719) God^G2316, that^G3754 it^G3779 shall be^G2071^(G5704) even^G2596^G3739 as^G5158 it was told^G2980^(G5769) me^G3427.

²⁶ But we must run aground on a certain island.”

KJVHowbeit^G1161 we^G2248 must^G1163^(G5748) be cast^G1601^(G5629) upon^G1519 a certain^G5100 island^G3520.

²⁷ But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G5613 the fourteenth^G5065 night^G3571 was come^G1096^(G5633), as we^G2257 were driven up and down^G1308^(G5746) in^G1722 Adria^G99, about^G2596 midnight^G3319^G3571 the shipmen^G3492 deemed^G5282^(G5707) that they^G846 drew near^G4317^(G5721) to some^G5100 country^G5561;

²⁸ They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.

KJVAnd^G2532 sounded^G1001^(G5660), and found^G2147^(G5627) it twenty^G1501 fathoms^G3712: and^G1161 when they had gone^G1339^(G5660) a little further^G1024, they sounded^G1001^(G5660) again^G3825, and^G2532 found^G2147^(G5627) it fifteen^G1178 fathoms^G3712.

²⁹ Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

KJVThen^G5037 fearing^G5399^(G5740) lest^G3381^G4458 we should have fallen^G1601^(G5632)^(G5625)^G1601^(G5632) upon^G1519 rocks^G5117^G5138, they cast^G4496^(G5660) four^G5064 anchors^G45 out of^G1537 the stern^G4403, and wished^G2172^(G5711)^G1096^(G5635) for the day^G2250.

³⁰ As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,

KJVAnd^G1161 as the shipmen^G3492 were about^G2212^(G5723) to flee^G5343^(G5629) out of^G1537 the ship^G4143, when^G2532 they had let down^G5465^(G5660) the boat^G4627 into^G1519 the sea^G2281, under colour^G4392 as though^G5613 they would^G3195^(G5723) have cast^G1614^(G5721) anchors^G45 out of^G1537 the foreship^G4408,

³¹ Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

KJVPaul^G3972 said^G2036^(G5627) to the centurion^G1543 and^G2532 to the soldiers^G4757, Except^G3362 these^G3778 abide^G3306^(G5661) in^G1722 the ship^G4143, ye^G5210 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) be saved^G4982^(G5683).

³² Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.

KJVThen^G5119 the soldiers^G4757 cut off^G609^(G5656) the ropes^G4979 of the boat^G4627, and^G2532 let^G1439^(G5656) her^G846 fall off^G1601^(G5629).

³³ While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

KJVAnd^G1161 while^G891^G3739 the day^G2250 was coming^G1096^(G5738) on^G3195^(G5707), Paul^G3972 besought^G3870^(G5707) them all^G537 to take^G3335^(G5629) meat^G5160, saying^G3004^(G5723), This day^G4594 is the fourteenth^G5065 day^G2250 that ye have tarried^G4328^(G5723) and continued^G1300^(G5719) fasting^G777, having taken^G4355^(G5642) nothing^G3367.

³⁴ Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”

KJVWherefore^G1352 I pray^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209 to take^G4355^(G5629) some meat^G5160: for^G1063 this^G5124 is^G5225^(G5719) for^G4314 your^G5212 health^G4991: for^G1063 there shall^G4098 not^G3762 an hair^G2359 fall^G4098^(G5695) from^G1537 the head^G2776 of any^G3762 of you^G5216.

³⁵ When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.

KJVAnd^G1161 when he had thus^G5023 spoken^G2036^(G5631),^G2532 he took^G2983^(G5631) bread^G740, and gave thanks^G2168^(G5656) to God^G2316 in presence^G1799 of them all^G3956: and^G2532 when he had broken^G2806^(G5660) it, he began^G756^(G5662) to eat^G2068^(G5721).

³⁶ Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

KJVThen^G1161 were^G1096 they^G846^G1096^(G5637) all^G3956 of good cheer^G2115, and they^G4355 also^G2532 took^G4355^(G5639) some meat^G5160.

³⁷ In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.

KJVAnd^G1161 we were^G2258^(G5713) in all^G3956 in^G1722 the ship^G4143 two hundred^G1250 threescore^G1440 and sixteen^G1803 souls^G5590.

³⁸ When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

KJVAnd^G1161 when they had eaten^G5160 enough^G2880^(G5685), they lightened^G2893^(G5707) the ship^G4143, and cast out^G1544^(G5734) the wheat^G4621 into^G1519 the sea^G2281.

³⁹ When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3753 it was^G1096^(G5633) day^G2250, they knew^G1921^(G5707) not^G3756 the land^G1093: but^G1161 they discovered^G2657^(G5707) a certain^G5100 creek^G2859 with^G2192^(G5723) a shore^G123, into^G1519 the which^G3739 they were minded^G1011^(G5662), if^G1487 it were possible^G1410^(G5739), to thrust in^G1856^(G5658) the ship^G4143.

⁴⁰ Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had taken up^G4014^(G5631) the anchors^G45, they committed^G1439^(G5707) themselves unto^G1519 the sea^G2281, and^G260 loosed^G447^(G5631) the rudder^G4079 bands^G2202, and^G2532 hoised up^G1869^(G5660) the mainsail^G736 to the wind^G4154^(G5723), and made^G2722^(G5707) toward^G1519 shore^G123.

⁴¹ But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

KJVAnd^G1161 falling^G4045^(G5631) into^G1519 a place^G5117 where two seas met^G1337, they ran^G2027 the ship^G3491 aground^G2027^(G5656); and^G2532 the forepart^G4408^G3303 stuck fast^G2043^(G5660), and remained^G3306^(G5656) unmoveable^G761, but^G1161 the hinder part^G4403 was broken^G3089^(G5712) with^G5259 the violence^G970 of the waves^G2949.

⁴² The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

KJVAnd^G1161 the soldiers^G4757' counsel^G1012 was^G1096^(G5633) to^G2443 kill^G615^(G5725) the prisoners^G1202, lest^G3361 any of them^G5100 should swim out^G1579^(G5660), and escape^G1309^(G5630).

⁴³ But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;

KJVBut^G1161 the centurion^G1543, willing^G1014^(G5740) to save^G1295^(G5658) Paul^G3972, kept^G2967^(G5656) them^G846 from their purpose^G1013; and^G5037 commanded^G2753^(G5656) that they which could^G1410^(G5740) swim^G2860^(G5721) should cast^G641^(G5660) themselves first^G4413 into the sea, and get^G1826^(G5750) to^G1909 land^G1093:

⁴⁴ and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.

KJVAnd^G2532 the rest^G3062, some^G3739^G3303 on^G1909 boards^G4548, and^G1161 some^G3739 on^G1909 broken pieces of^G575 the ship^G4143^G5100. And^G2532 so^G3779 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that they escaped^G1295 all^G3956 safe^G1295^(G5683) to^G1909 land^G1093.
