ACTS

Paul's Warning is Ignored

Pastor Scott Brenner Acts 27:11-20
[27:11] Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.
[27:12] And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
[27:13] When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.
[27:14] But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.
[27:15] So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.
[27:16] And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.
[27:17] When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.
[27:18] And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.
[27:19] On the third day we threw the ship's tackle overboard with our own hands.
[27:20] Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.
