Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord,I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.

at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me.

And when it came to pass that we were parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden.And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.And as we tarried there some days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.And after these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.And there went with us also certain of the disciples from Cæsarea, bringing with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, And to- morrow I will give; When thou hast it by thee.

I made haste, and delayed not, To observe thy commandments.

and there they preached the gospel.

And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north- east and south- east.And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under- girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.But we must be cast upon a certain island.But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita.And the barbarians showed us no common kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.And when the barbarians saw the venomous creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live.Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm.But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius; who received us, and entertained us three days courteously.And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers.And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome.And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.

And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.

But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus.

wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.

But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days.And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.
