The Scriptures 1998

Acts 27:12-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. And because the harbour was unsuitable to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from there too, if somehow they were able to reach Phoenix, a harbour of Crete facing southwest and northwest, to pass the winter.

13. And a south wind blowing softly, thinking they had obtained their purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed along Crete, close inshore.

14. And not long after, a stormy head wind rushed down from it, called Northeaster.

15. And when the ship was caught in it, and unable to head against the wind, we let her go and were driven.

16. And having run under a small island called Klauda, we were hardly able to control the small boat.

17. And having hoisted it, they used helps to undergird the ship. And fearing lest they should run aground on Surtis, they lowered the tackle and so were driven.
