  • ACT 27:13–20, engwebp

    13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

    14But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

    15When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

    16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

    17After 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.

    18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

    19On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

    20When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

Verses tagged with this entry

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
