1When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.

2We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.

3The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.

4After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.

6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

7After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

8After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲗⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲉⲁ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲁ ϯⲕⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ..
9By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
10ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲱϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲥⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲁⲟⲩⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓϫⲓⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲧ ..
10“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
11ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲑⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⳿⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ..
11But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12ⲉⲛ⳿ϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲩⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲑⲣ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲭⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙϫⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲟⲓⲛⲓⲝ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲭ ⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲙⲏⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏⲉϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲁ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲡⲉ ..
12Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
13ⲉϥⲛⲓϥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲑⲟⲩⲣⲏⲥ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲡⲓϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲁⲓϥ ⲁⲩϫⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲁⲥⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲭⲁ ϯ⳿ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ..
13When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
14⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲓϥⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲑⲏⲟⲩ ⲉϥϭⲟⲥⲓ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲕⲩⲗⲱⲛ ..
14But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
15⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϩⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲛϯⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲕ ..
15Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
16ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲫⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲕⲗⲁⲩⲇⲁ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲛϯϧⲉⲗⲙⲉϩⲓ ..
16Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.

17After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
18⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲫⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲃⲟⲣⲃⲉⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ ..
18We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.

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

20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.
21⳿ⲥϣⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲁⲑⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲟⲩⲙⲏϯ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲱ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϫⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϫⲉⲙ ϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓϣⲱϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲟⲥⲓ ..
21After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.
22ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϧⲱⲛϫ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ..
22But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.

23For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me

24and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϯⲛⲁϩϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ..
25So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
26ϩⲱϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ.
26However, we must run aground on some island.”

27On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲓϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϯⲃⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙ ⲕ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩϥⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲩⲥⲓϯ ⳿ⲛϯⲃⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙ ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩϥⲟⲧ ..
28They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep. Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.
29⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲧ ⲁⲩϩⲓ ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲁⲩϫⲁⲗ ⲥⲁⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲩⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ..
29Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
30ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲫⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲁ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛϯ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲫⲏ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ϩⲱⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲁⲩϫⲁⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ..
30Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
31ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟϩⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ..
31But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲗⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲛⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲫⲏⲁⲩⲭⲁⲥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲥϩⲉⲓ ..
32So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
33ϣⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁϥⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϧⲣⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲟⲕⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ..
33Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
34ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϭ ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩϥⲱⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲛ ..
34So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
35ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ ⲁϥϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ Ⲫϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲫⲁϣϥ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ..
35After he had said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩ⳿ϧⲣⲉ ..
36They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.

37In all, there were 276 of us on board.

38After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

39When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲩϫⲁⲗ ⲛⲁⲩⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲁⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲭⲁ ϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲓⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲣⲧⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲓϥⲓ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲭⲣⲟ ..
40Cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea as they loosened the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
