Acts 27:14
Compare all
12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

In the Tempest

13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called1 Euroclydon.  
15 So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her1 drive.  
16 And running under the shelter of an island called1 Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.  
17 When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the1 Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.  
18 And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.
19 On the third day awe threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands.  
20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.
21 But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.
22 And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
