G3588–ὁ–ho

But it was not long before a furious north-east wind, coming down from the mountains, burst upon us and carried the ship out of her course.

ὁ ho “which”

She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive.

Then we ran under the lee of a little island called Cauda, where we managed with great difficulty to secure the boat;

and, after hoisting it on board, they used frapping-cables to undergird the ship, and, as they were afraid of being driven on the Syrtis quicksands, they lowered the gear and lay to.

But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship;

τῇ tēa “on the”

and, on the third day, with their own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard.

Then, when for several days neither sun nor stars were seen and the terrific gale still harassed us, the last ray of hope was now vanishing.

When for a long time they had taken but little food, Paul, standing up among them, said, "Sirs, you ought to have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would then have escaped this suffering and loss.

But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only.

For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship,

τῇ tēa “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

and he said, "`Dismiss all fear, Paul, for you must stand before Caesar; and God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you.'

"Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told.

It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Sea of Adria, when, about midnight, the sailors suspected that land was close at hand.

The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow.

But Paul, addressing Julius and the soldiers, said, "Your lives will be sacrificed, unless these men remain on board."

Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off.

And continually, up till daybreak, Paul kept urging all on board to take some food. "This is the fourteenth day," he said, "that you have been anxiously waiting for the storm to cease, and have fasted, eating little or nothing.

ὁ ho “<the>”

I therefore strongly advise you to take some food. This is essential for your safety. For not a hair will perish from the head of any one of you."

Having said this he took some bread, and, after giving thanks to God for it before them all, he broke it in pieces and began to eat it.

There were 276 of us, crew and passengers, all told.

After eating a hearty meal they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.

When daylight came, they tried in vain to recognise the coast. But an inlet with a sandy beach attracted their attention, and now their object was, if possible, to run the ship aground in this inlet.

So they cut away the anchors and left them in the sea, unloosing at the same time the bands which secured the paddle-rudders. Then, hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

But coming to a place where two seas met, they stranded the ship, and her bow sticking fast remained immovable, while the stern began to go to pieces under the heavy hammering of the sea.

Now the soldiers recommended that the prisoners should be killed, for fear some one of them might swim ashore and effect his escape.
