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.

2Embarking 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.

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

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

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

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

7When 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.

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

9When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲱϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲥⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲁⲟⲩⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓϫⲓⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲧ ..
10and 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.”
11ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲑⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⳿⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ..
11But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
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 ..
12Because 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.
13ⲉϥⲛⲓϥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲑⲟⲩⲣⲏⲥ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲡⲓϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲁⲓϥ ⲁⲩϫⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲁⲥⲥⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲭⲁ ϯ⳿ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ..
13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲓϥⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲑⲏⲟⲩ ⲉϥϭⲟⲥⲓ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲕⲩⲗⲱⲛ ..
14But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϩⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲛϯⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲕ ..
15When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲫⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲕⲗⲁⲩⲇⲁ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲛϯϧⲉⲗⲙⲉϩⲓ ..
16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17ⲑⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲟⲗⲥ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣⲃⲟ⳿ⲏⲑⲓⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲥⲓⲣⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲛⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲁⲛⲗⲱⲓⲗⲓ ..
17After 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.
18⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲫⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲃⲟⲣⲃⲉⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ ..
18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

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

20When 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.

21When 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.
22ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϧⲱⲛϫ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ..
22Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

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

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

27But 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.
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 twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.

29Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲫⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲁ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛϯ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲫⲏ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ϩⲱⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲁⲩϫⲁⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ..
30As 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,
31ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟϩⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ..
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

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

33While 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.

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

35When 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.

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

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

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

39When 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.

40Casting 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.
