ACTS 27:1

6 of 44

And 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.

7 of 44

And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

ACTS 27:3

8 of 44

And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

ACTS 27:4

ACTS 27:6

11 of 44

And 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;

ACTS 27:7

12 of 44

And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

ACTS 27:8

13 of 44

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

ACTS 27:9

14 of 44

And 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.

ACTS 27:10

15 of 44

Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

ACTS 27:11

16 of 44

And 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.

ACTS 27:12

17 of 44

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

18 of 44

But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

ACTS 27:15

20 of 44

And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

ACTS 27:16

Which 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.

ACTS 27:17

22 of 44

And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

ACTS 27:18

23 of 44

And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

ACTS 27:19

24 of 44

And 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.

ACTS 27:20

25 of 44

But 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.

ACTS 27:21

26 of 44

And 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.

32 of 44

And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

ACTS 27:28

33 of 44

Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

ACTS 27:29

34 of 44

And 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,

ACTS 27:30

35 of 44

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

ACTS 27:31

36 of 44

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

ACTS 27:32

ACTS 27:38

And 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.

ACTS 27:39

44 of 44

And 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.

ACTS 27:40

45 of 44

And 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.

ACTS 27:41

46 of 44

And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

ACTS 27:42

47 of 44

But 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:

ACTS 27:43

48 of 44

And 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.

BIBLE CANON: 5

A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.

These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.

W Biblical_canon

1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON 140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.

2. Muratorian Canon | BIBLE CANON 170 AD
The Muratorian Canon is an ancient list of New Testament books - the oldest such list we have found and lists 22 of the 27 books that were later included in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is noteworthy that the Muratorian Canon omits several epistles that later did win acceptance in the Christian New Testament such as the books of James and 2 Peter.
