7. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8. and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9. And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10. and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11. But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12. And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
13. And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14. But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
15. and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.
16. And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17. and 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.
18. And as we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;
19. and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20. And 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.
21. And 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.
