And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

δὲ de “now”

And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

δὲ de “then”

And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

δὲ de “now”

And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

δὲ de “now”

But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

δὲ de “But”

And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.

δὲ de “now”

And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.

δὲ de “now”

But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

δὲ de “however”

And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

δὲ de “then”

And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

δέ de “then”

And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;

δὲ de “now”

And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

δὲ de “now”

But we will be sent on to a certain island.

But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;

δὲ de “then”

And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.

δὲ de “then”

Then the sailors made attempts secretly to get away from the ship, letting down a boat as if they were about to put down hooks from the front of the ship;

δὲ de “then”

And when dawn was near, Paul gave them all orders to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day you have been waiting and taking no food.

δὲ de “then”

And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

δὲ de “now”

Then they all took heart and did the same.

And we were, in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six persons.

And when they had had enough food, they made the weight of the ship less, turning the grain out into the sea.
