And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

看哪，船只虽然甚大，又被大风催逼，只用小小的舵，就随着掌舵的意思转动。

再看船只，虽然甚大，又被强风猛吹，只用小小的舵就随着掌舵的意思转动。

試觀諸舟如彼其大、且為狂風所盪、運以小舵、則隨舵師所欲、

雖有巨舟、為狂風動盪、而小舵得以運轉、隨舟子指揮、

舟雖大、且為狂風飄蕩、而小舵得以運轉、隨舵師所欲、

舟身雖大、且為暴風所驅、而舵師宴然把一小舵、亦能駕駛自如。

Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.

And how about ships? They are very big. They are driven along by strong winds. But they are steered by a very small rudder. It makes them go where the captain wants to go.

Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong.

Look at the ships too: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are nevertheless directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot determines.

Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.

Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

Behold also the ships, which though[ they be] so great, and[ are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

Look at ships too: Though they are so large and driven by harsh winds, they are steered by a tiny rudder wherever the pilot’s inclination directs.

Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

He spoke and raised a stormy wind that stirred up the waves of the sea.Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths, their courage melting away in anguish,they reeled and staggered like a drunkard, and all their skill was useless.

But the LORD threw a great wind onto the sea, and such a great storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart.

But before long, a fierce wind called the“ northeaster” rushed down from the island.Since the ship was caught and unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.After running under the shelter of a little island called Cauda, we were barely able to get control of the skiff.After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the drift-anchor, and in this way they were driven along.Because we were being severely battered by the storm, they began to jettison the cargo the next day.On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope was fading that we would be saved.Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul then stood up among them and said,“ You men should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete and sustain this damage and loss.Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship.For last night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by meand said,‘ Don’t be afraid, Paul. It is necessary for you to appear before Caesar. And indeed, God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’So take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me.But we have to run aground on some island.”When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea, and about midnight the sailors thought they were approaching land.They took soundings and found it to be a hundred twenty feet deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be ninety feet deep.Then, fearing we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come.Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow.Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers,“ Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”Then the soldiers cut the ropes holding the skiff and let it drop away.When it was about daylight, Paul urged them all to take food, saying,“ Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and going without food, having eaten nothing.So I urge you to take some food. For this is for your survival, since none of you will lose a hair from your head.”After he said these things and had taken some bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all of them, and after he broke it, he began to eat.They all were encouraged and took food themselves.In all there were 276 of us on the ship.When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the grain overboard into the sea.

Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves— but Jesus kept sleeping.
