6 aWe sailed from bPhilippi after cthe days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at dTroas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.
7 On athe first day of the week, when bwe were gathered together to cbreak bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
8 There were many alamps in the bupper room where we were gathered together.
9 And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead.
10 But Paul went down and afell upon him, and after embracing him, he bsaid, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."
11 When he had gone back up and had abroken the bread and eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left.
12 They took away the boy alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 But awe, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for so he had arranged it, intending himself to go by land.
14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
15 Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to aMiletus.

Acts 21

1 When awe had parted from them and had set sail, we ran ba straight course to Cos and the next day to Rhodes and from there to Patara;
2 and having found a ship crossing over to aPhoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 When we came in sight of aCyprus, leaving it on the left, we kept sailing to bSyria and landed at cTyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.
4 After looking up athe disciples, we stayed there seven days; and they kept telling Paul bthrough the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem.
5 When our days there were ended, we left and started on our journey, while they all, with wives and children, aescorted us until we were out of the city. After bkneeling down on the beach and praying, we said farewell to one another.
6 Then we went on board the ship, and they returned ahome again.
7 When we had finished the voyage from aTyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting bthe brethren, we stayed with them for a day.

10 As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named aAgabus came down from Judea.
11 And coming to us, he atook Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This bis what the Holy Spirit says: 'In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will cbind the man who owns this belt and ddeliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"
12 When we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging him anot to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For aI am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for bthe name of the Lord Jesus."
14 And since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent, remarking, "aThe will of the Lord be done!"
15 After these days we got ready and astarted on our way up to Jerusalem.
16 Some of athe disciples from bCaesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of cCyprus, a ddisciple of long standing with whom we were to lodge.

Acts 27

1 When it was decided that awe bwould sail for cItaly, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan dcohort named Julius.
2 And embarking in an Adramyttian ship, which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of aAsia, we put out to sea accompanied by bAristarchus, a cMacedonian of dThessalonica.
3 The next day we put in at aSidon; and Julius btreated Paul with consideration and callowed him to go to his friends and receive care.
4 From there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of aCyprus because bthe winds were contrary.
5 When we had sailed through the sea along the coast of aCilicia and bPamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6 There the centurion found an aAlexandrian ship sailing for bItaly, and he put us aboard it.
7 When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, asince the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the shelter of bCrete, off Salmone;
8 and with difficulty asailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.
9 When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even athe fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them,
10 and said to them, "Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with adamage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."
11 But the centurion was more persuaded by the apilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.
12 Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of aCrete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
13 When a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began asailing along bCrete, close inshore.
14 But before very long there arushed down from the land a violent wind, called Euraquilo;
15 and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be driven along.
16 Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship's boat under control.
17 After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might arun aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.
18 The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to ajettison the cargo;
19 and on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.
20 Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned.
21 When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, "aMen, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from bCrete and incurred this adamage and loss.
22 "Yet now I urge you to akeep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 "For this very night aan angel of the God to whom I belong and bwhom I serve cstood before me,
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; ayou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you ball those who are sailing with you.'
25 "Therefore, akeep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.
26 "But we must arun aground on a certain bisland."
27 But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land.
28 They took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be fifteen fathoms.
29 Fearing that we might arun aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.
30 But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down athe ship's boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved."
32 Then the soldiers cut away the aropes of the ship's boat and let it fall away.
33 Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing.
34 "Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for anot a hair from the head of any of you will perish."
35 Having said this, he took bread and agave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat.
36 All aof them were encouraged and they themselves also took food.
37 All of us in the ship were two hundred and seventy-six apersons.
38 When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by athrowing out the wheat into the sea.
39 When day came, athey could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.
40 And casting off athe anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach.
41 But striking a reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves.
42 The soldiers' plan was to akill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape;
43 but the centurion, awanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that athey all were brought safely to land.

Acts 28

1 When athey had been brought safely through, bthen we found out that cthe island was called Malta.
2 aThe natives showed us extraordinary kindness; for because of the rain that had set in and because of the cold, they kindled a fire and breceived us all.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
4 When athe natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, "bUndoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."
5 However ahe shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.
6 But they were expecting that he was about to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had waited a long time and had seen nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and abegan to say that he was a god.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us courteously three days.
8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed afflicted with recurrent fever and dysentery; and Paul went in to see him and after he had aprayed, he blaid his hands on him and healed him.
9 After this had happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases were coming to him and getting cured.
10 They also honored us with many marks of respect; and when we were setting sail, they supplied us with all we needed.
11 At the end of three months we set sail on aan Alexandrian ship which had wintered at the island, and which had the Twin Brothers for its figurehead.
12 After we put in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.
13 From there we sailed around and arrived at Rhegium, and a day later a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.
14 There we found some abrethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and thus we came to Rome.
15 And the abrethren, when they heard about us, came from there as far as the Market of Appius and Three Inns to meet us; and when Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
16 When we entered Rome, Paul was aallowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.
