The Acts

¹⁶And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat: ¹⁷and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven. ¹⁸And as we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard; ¹⁹and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship. ²⁰And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away. ²¹And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss. ²²And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
