DAY 28 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYSAC-26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill [me]. AC-26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: AC-26:23 That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. AC-26:24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. AC-26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. AC-26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. AC-26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. AC-26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. AC-26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. AC-26:30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: AC-26:31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. AC-26:32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. *AC-27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto [one] named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. AC-27:2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. AC-27:3 And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. AC-27:4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. AC-27:5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia. AC-27:6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. AC-27:7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; AC-27:8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea. AC-27:9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them], AC-27:10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. AC-27:11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. AC-27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. AC-27:13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete. AC-27:14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. AC-27:15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive. AC-27:16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: AC-27:17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven. AC-27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next [day] they lightened the ship; AC-27:19 And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. AC-27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was |
