1So they decided to bounce to Italy, and they handed Paul and some other prisoners over to this dude Julius, a centurion from Augustus’ crew.

2We hopped on a ship from Adramyttium, ready to sail along the coast of Asia; our boy Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.

3The next day we pulled up at Sidon. Julius was super chill with Paul and let him go hang with his friends to vibe a bit.

4After we took off, we cruised under Cyprus 'cause the winds were acting sus.

5Once we sailed over the Cilicia and Pamphylia sea, we finally hit up Myra, a city in Lycia.

6The centurion found a ship from Alexandria heading to Italy, so he tossed us on that one.

7After sailing slow for a hot minute, and barely making it past Cnidus 'cause the wind was being savage, we went under Crete near Salmone.

8Almost passing it, we landed at a spot called The Fair Havens, close to the city of Lasea.

9After wasting a lot of time and realizing sailing was getting risky since the fast was already over, Paul was like,

10"Yo, I can tell this trip is gonna be rough and cause mad damage, not just to the cargo and ship, but also to our lives, no cap."

11But the centurion was like, "Nah, I trust the captain more than Paul’s vibes."

12Since the spot wasn’t lit for winter, most peeps were like, "Let’s bounce to Phenice, it’s a chill port in Crete."

13Then the south wind was blowing soft, and they thought they were good, so they dipped close to Crete.

14But not long after, a wild storm hit, called Euroclydon, and it was sus.

15When the ship got caught in it and couldn’t handle the wind, we just let it ride.

16While cruising under an island called Clauda, we had a lot to do to snag the lifeboat.

17Once they got it, they used some help to secure the ship; scared of getting wrecked in the quicksand, they dropped the sails and went with the flow.

18We were tossed around like crazy, so the next day they lightened the load.

19On day three, we literally tossed out the ship’s gear with our own hands.

20And when neither sun nor stars showed up for days, and the storm was no joke, all hope for our survival was gone, fr.

21After a minute, Paul stepped up and was like, "Y'all should've listened to me and not bounced from Crete, or we wouldn't be dealing with this mess."

22But listen up, I'm telling you to chill: no one’s gonna lose their life, just the ship.

23For real, an angel of God vibed with me last night, and I’m all in on this.

24The angel said, "Don’t sweat it, Paul; you gotta see Caesar, and God’s got your crew covered."

25So, fam, stay positive: I trust God, it’s gonna go down just like He said.

26But we gotta hit up a specific island.

27When the fourteenth night hit, while we were tossed around in Adria, the crew thought they were close to land around midnight.

28They checked the depth and it was twenty fathoms; after a bit, they checked again and it was fifteen fathoms.

29They got shook thinking we might hit rocks, so they dropped four anchors and were just hoping for daylight.

30As the crew was about to bail from the ship, pretending to drop anchors from the front, they let down the lifeboat into the sea.

31Paul told the centurion and the squad, "If y’all don’t stick with the ship, no cap, you ain’t getting saved."

32So the soldiers went savage and cut the ropes of the boat, letting it just float away.

33As the day was coming in, Paul was like, "Yo, fam, you gotta eat. It’s been fourteen days of just vibes and no food."

34So I’m asking you to grab some food, it’s for your health, fr: not a single hair on your head is gonna fall off.

35After he said that, he took some bread, gave thanks to God right in front of everyone, broke it, and started munching.

36Then everyone was feeling good and they also grabbed some food.

37There were a total of 276 souls on the ship, no cap.

38After they ate enough, they lightened the ship by tossing the wheat into the sea, just like that.

39When morning hit, they didn’t recognize the land, but spotted a chill creek with a shore, thinking they might slide the ship in there.

40Once they pulled up the anchors, they sent themselves into the sea, untied the rudder, hoisted the mainsail to catch the wind, and headed for shore.

41They hit a spot where two seas met, and the ship got stuck like, no cap; the front was solid, but the back was totally wrecked by the waves.

42The soldiers were like, "We gotta take out the prisoners, or they might dip."

43But the centurion was trying to save Paul, so he was like, "Nah, let the swimmers pop off first and hit the shore."

44The rest of them made it work, some on boards and others on pieces of the ship. In the end, they all vibed safe to land.

1And 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.

2And 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.

3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

7And 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;

8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

10And 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.

11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

12And 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.

13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

17Which 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.

18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

20And 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.

21But 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.

22And 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.

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

24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

27But 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;

28And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

30And 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,

31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

33And 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.

34Wherefore 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.

35And 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.

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

37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

39And 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.

40And 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.

41And 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.

42And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

43But 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:

44And 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.
