	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And when it was cocluded, that we shoulde sayle into Italie, they delyuered both Paul, & certayne other prysoners, vnto one named Iulius, an vnder captayne of Augustus bande.	And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.	When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
2	And we entred into a shippe of Adramyttium, & loosed from lande, appoynted to sayle by the coastes of Asia, one Aristarchus out of Macedonia, of the countrey of Thessalonia, tarying styll with vs.	And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.	We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3	And the next day we came to Sidon: And Iulius curteouslye entreated Paul, and gaue hym libertie to go vnto his friendes, and to refreshe hym selfe.	The next day we put in at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.	The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.
4	And when we had launched from thence, we sayled harde by Cypers, because the wyndes were contrarye.	And putting out to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.	From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5	And when we had sayled ouer the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, which is in Lycia.	And when we had sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.	When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6	And there the vnder captayne founde a shippe of Alexandria redy, that sayled into Italie, and he put vs therin.	There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.	There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7	And whe we had sayled slowly many dayes, & scarce were come ouer agaynst Guydum, because ye wynde withstoode vs, we sayled harde by Candie, ouer agaynst Salmo,	We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.	We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8	And with much worke sayled beyonde it, and came vnto a place wich is called the Fayre hauens, nye whervnto was the citie of Lasea.	Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.	We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9	When much tyme was spent, & when saylyng was nowe ieopardus, because also that they had ouerlong fasted, Paul put them in remembraunce,	Since much time had passed, and the voyage was now dangerous because even the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,	Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement. So Paul warned them,
10	And sayde vnto them: Syrs, I perceaue that this vyage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the ladyng and shippe only, but also of our lyues.	saying, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”	“Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”
11	Neuerthelesse, the vnder captayne beleued the gouernour and the maister of the shippe, more then those thynges which were spoken of Paul.	But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.	But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
12	And because the hauen was not commodious to wynter in, many toke counsell to depart thence, yf by any meanes they myght attayne to Phenice, & there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth towarde the southwest and northwest wynde.	And because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.	Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.
13	And when the south wynde blewe softly, they supposyng to obtayne their purpose, loosed vnto Asson, and sayled past Candie.	Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.	When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
14	But not long after, there arose against their purpose, a flawe of wynde out of the northeast.	But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land.	Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island.
15	And when the shippe was caught, and coulde not resist the wynde, we let her go, and were dryuen with the weather.	And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.	The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.
16	But we were caryed into an Ile which is named Clauda, and had much worke to come by a boate,	Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the ship’s boat.	As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure,
17	Which they toke vp, and vsed helpe, and made fast the shippe, fearyng least they shoulde fall into the Syrtes: And so they let downe a vessel, & were caried.	After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and thus they were driven along.	so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
18	The next day, when we were tossed with an exceading tempest, they lighted the shippe,	Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day to jettison the cargo.	We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.
19	And the thirde day, we cast out with our owne handes, the tacklyng of the shippe.	And on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.	On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
20	And when neither ye sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.	When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.	When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
21	But after long abstinence, Paul stoode foorth in the middes of them, and sayde: Syrs, ye shoulde haue harkened to me, & not to haue loosed fro Candie, neither to haue brought vnto vs this harme and losse.	Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.	After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss.
22	And nowe I exhort you to be of good chere: For there shalbe no losse of any mans lyfe among you, but of the shippe.	Yet now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.	But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.
23	For there stoode by me this nyght, the Angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serue,	For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,	Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me
24	Saying: Feare not Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar. And lo, God hath geuen thee all them that sayle with thee.	and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’	and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25	Wherfore syrs be of good cheare: for I beleue God, that it shalbe euen as it was tolde me.	So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.	So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
26	Howbeit, we must be cast into a certayne Ilande.	But we must run aground on some island.”	Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island.”
27	But when the fourtenth nyght was come, as we were saylyng in Adria, about mydnyght the shypmen deemed that there appeared some countrey vnto them:	When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.	On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28	And sounded, and founde it twentie faddomes. And when they had gone a litle further, they sounded agayne, and founde it fyfteene faddomes.	So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.	They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet deep.
29	Then fearyng lest they shoulde haue fallen on some rocke, they caste foure anckers out of the sterne, and wisshed for the day.	And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.	Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.
30	And as the shypmen were about to flee out of the shippe, when they had let downe the boate into the sea, vnder a colour, as though they woulde haue cast anckers out of the foreshippe,	And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship’s boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,	In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow.
31	Paul sayde vnto the vnder captayne, and to the souldiers: Except these abide in the shippe, ye can not be safe.	Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”	Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32	Then the souldyers cut of the rope of the boate, and let it fall away.	Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it go.	So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.
33	And when the day began to appeare, Paul besought them all to take meate, saying: This is the foureteenth day, that ye haue taryed & continued fasting, receauyng nothyng at all.	As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.	Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. “For the last fourteen days,” he said, “you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven’t eaten anything.
34	Wherfore, I pray you to take meate, for this no doubt is for your health: for there shall not an heere fall from the head of any of you.	Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.”	Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”
35	And when he had thus spoken, he toke bread, and gaue thankes to God in presence of them all: And when he had broken it, he began to eate.	And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat.	After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36	Then were they all of good cheare, and they also toke meate.	Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.	They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves.
37	And we were altogether in the shippe, two hudred threescore & sixteene soules.	(We were in all 276 persons in the ship.)	Altogether there were 276 of us on board.
38	And when they had eaten enough, they lyghted the shippe, and cast out the wheate into the sea.	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.	When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39	And when it was day, they knewe not the lande: but they spyed a certayne hauen with a banke, into the which they were mynded, yf it were possible, to thrust in the shippe.	Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore.	When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40	And when they had taken vp the anckers, they committed themselues vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bondes, and hoyssed vp the mayne sayle to the wynde, and drewe to lande.	So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.	Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
41	And when they fell into a place which had the sea on both sydes, they thrust in the shippe: And the forepart stucke fast & moued not, but the hynder part brake with the violence of the waues.	But striking a reef, they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf.	But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.
42	And the souldiers counsel was to kyll the prysoners, lest any of them, when he had swomme out, should runne away.	The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape.	The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.
43	But the vnder captayne wyllyng to saue Paul, kept the from their purpose, & commaunded that they which coulde swymme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and scape to lande:	But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land,	But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
44	And the other, some on boordes, and some on broke peeces of the shippe. And so it came to passe, that they escaped all safe to lande.	and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land.	The rest were to get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.
