保羅前往羅馬
1他們決定讓我們坐船去義大利，於是將保羅和其他囚犯都交給一位皇家兵團的百夫長猶流看管。 2有一艘亞大米田的船準備沿著亞細亞海岸航行。我們上船啟航，同船的還有帖撒羅尼迦的馬其頓人亞里達古。 3第二天，船停泊在西頓港，猶流寬待保羅，准他探望當地的朋友，接受他們的照應。
4我們從那裡啟航後，由於遇到逆風，便沿著塞浦路斯的背風岸前行， 5經過基利迦和旁非利亞附近的海域，來到呂家的每拉。 6百夫長在那裡找到一艘從亞歷山大駛往義大利的船，吩咐我們換搭那艘船。
7一連多日船速十分緩慢，好不容易才駛近革尼土。因為強風船無法前行，只好沿著克里特背風岸航行，經過撒摩尼角。 8船沿著海岸行進，幾經艱難才到達拉西亞城附近的佳澳。
9我們耽誤了不少日子，禁食的節期27·9 指猶太人的贖罪日，約在陽曆九月、十月間（參見利未記23·27）。已過，航行很危險，保羅勸告眾人說： 10「各位，照我看來，如果我們繼續航行，不只會損失貨物和船隻，甚至連我們的性命也難保。」 11但那百夫長只相信船主和舵手的話，不接受保羅的勸告。 12由於佳澳港不適宜過冬，大部分人贊成啟航，以為或許可以趕到菲尼基過冬。菲尼基是克里特的一個港口，一面向西南，一面向西北。
驚濤駭浪
13那時，南風徐徐吹來，他們以為可以按計劃繼續航行，於是起錨沿著克里特行進。 14可是出發不久，便遇到從島上颳來的猛烈的東北風27·14 「猛烈的東北風」希臘文是「友拉革羅颶風」。， 15船被颳得失去控制，我們只好任船隨風漂流。 16船沿著一個叫高達的小島的背風面前進，大家好不容易才控制住救生船。 17水手把救生船拉上甲板後，又用繩索加固船身。因為怕船會在賽耳底擱淺，於是收起船帆，任船漂流。 18第二天，風浪依然猛烈，他們開始把貨物拋進海裡。 19第三天，他們又親手把船上的用具也拋掉了。 20一連好幾天都看不到太陽、星辰，風浪肆虐，我們完全放棄了得救的指望。
保羅安慰眾人
21這時大家已經多日沒有進食，保羅站在他們當中說：「各位當初如果肯聽我勸，不離開克里特，就不會遭受這些損失了。 22現在我勸大家放心，你們無人會喪命，只是這艘船保不住了。 23因為昨天晚上，我所歸屬、所事奉的上帝差遣天使站在我身旁， 24對我說，『保羅，不用怕，你一定會站在凱撒面前，上帝也會保全所有和你同船的人。』 25所以請各位放心，我深信上帝所說的話必然會成就。 26只是我們一定會在某個島上擱淺。」
27第十四天的晚上，我們在亞得里亞海漂來漂去。到了午夜時分，水手都覺得離陸地不遠了， 28就探測水深，結果約三十六米深，再往前一點，只有二十七米左右。 29他們怕會觸礁，就從船尾拋下四個錨，暫停前進，期待天亮。 30水手們想要棄船逃生，假裝要從船頭拋錨，卻偷偷地把救生船放到海裡。 31保羅對百夫長和士兵們說：「除非他們留下來，否則你們都活不了！」 32士兵聽了，就砍斷繩索，讓救生船漂走。
33到了黎明時分，保羅勸大家吃東西，說：「你們提心吊膽、不思飲食已經十四天了。 34我勸你們吃點東西，好活下去，你們必定毫髮無損。」 35保羅說完後拿起餅，當眾感謝上帝，然後掰開吃。 36於是大家都振作起來，吃了些東西。 37船上共有二百七十六人。 38吃飽了以後，為了要減輕船的重量，他們把麥子拋進海裡。
安全登陸
39天亮的時候，水手發現了一片不認識的陸地，看見一個有沙灘的海灣，便決定盡可能在那裡靠岸。 40於是砍斷錨索，把錨丟在海裡，鬆開舵繩，升起前帆，順著風勢駛向那沙灘。 41可是，遇到兩流交匯的水域，就在那裡擱了淺，船頭卡在那裡不能動彈，船尾被大浪撞裂了。
42士兵們想把囚犯全殺掉，怕有人乘機游泳逃走。 43但百夫長為了救保羅，不准他們輕舉妄動，下令會游泳的先跳到海裡游上岸。 44其餘的人利用木板和船體的碎片游上岸。結果，全船的人都安全上岸了。
1And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band. 2And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. 7And 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; 8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10And 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. 11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. 13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. 14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: 17Which 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. 18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 20And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. 21But 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. 22And 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. 23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. 27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country; 28And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 30And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, 31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 34Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 35And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. 36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. 37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. 38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 39And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. 40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. 41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. 42And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 43But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 44And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
