Acts 27
13 Ref When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Ref But before long, a tempestuous wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.{Or, "a northeaster."}
15 Ref When the ship was caught, and couldn't face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Ref After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 Ref As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Ref On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
20 Ref When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small tempest pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
