19 and the third day with our own hands we cast off the dead works of the ship.
20 And 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 lost.
21 Then 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 to have avoided this harm and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of any person’s life among you, but only of the ship.
23 For the angel of God stood by me this night, whose I am and whom I serve,
24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar; and, behold, God has given thee all those that sail with thee.
25 Therefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
