Wisdom & Truth Verses

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; {Crete: or, Candy}

And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city {of} Lasea.

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished {them}, {the fast: the fast was on the tenth day of the seventh month}

And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. {hurt: or, injury}

But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. {arose: or, beat}

And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let {her} drive.

And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next {day} they lightened the ship;

And the third {day} we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

But 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, and to have gained this harm and loss.

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of {any man's} life among you, but of the ship.
