Acts 27:15-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

15. And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.

16. And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.

17. Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.

18. And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.

19. And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

20. And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.

21. And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
