Also in text in red square brackets16.1 PAUL SAILS FOR ITALY; THEY CALL ATCRETE; A TERRIBLE STORM SHIPWRECKS THEM ON MALTAActs27:1-44 - This part includes the last of Luke's four'We' sections (Acts 27:1-28:16). He alsoreveals something of his apparent sea-going experiencewith this vivid account of the voyage and shipwreck onMalta:As soon as it was decidedthat we should sail away to Italy (two years afterPaul's original arrest in Jerusalem 1 and his journey toCaesarea 2 ), Pauland some other prisoners were put in charge of acenturion named Julius, of the emperor's own regiment (the Augustancohort based near Caesarea, an army unit possiblyassigned to special imperial duties). Batterybar pro 3.6.6 full cracked version. We embarked on a ship hailing fromAdramyttium, bound for the Asian ports, and set sail.Among our company was Aristarchus, a Macedonian fromThessalonica.
On the following day we put in at Sidon 3, where Julius treated Paul mostconsiderately by allowing him to visit his friends andaccept their hospitality. From Sidon we put to sea againand sailed to leeward of Cyprus 4, since the (northwest) wind was against us. Then, when wehad crossed the gulf that lies off the coasts of Cilicia 5 and Pamphylia 6, we arrived at Myra 7 in Lycia.
There the centurionfound an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put usaboard her. For several days we beat slowly up towindward and only just succeeded in arriving off Cnidus 8. Then, since the wind was stillblowing against us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, androunded Cape Salmone 9. Coasting along with difficulty we came toa place called Fair Havens 10, near which is the city of Lasea.
We had bynow lost a great deal of time and sailing had alreadybecome dangerous as it was so late in the year (. The sailingseason ended around the end of September).Paul's warning is disregardedSo Paul warned them, andsaid, 'Men, I can see that this voyage is likely toresult in damage and considerable loss - not only to shipand cargo - but even of our lives as well.' But Julius paid moreattention to the helmsman and the captain than to Paul'swords of warning. Moreover, since the harbour isunsuitable for a ship to winter in, the majority were infavour of setting sail again in the hope of reachingPhoenix 11 andwintering there. Phoenix is a harbour in Crete, facingsouth-west and north-west. So, when a moderate breezesprang up, thinking they had obtained just what theywanted, they weighed anchor, and coasted along, huggingthe shores of Crete. But before long a terrific gale,which they called a north-easter, swept down upon us fromthe land.

The ship was caught by it and since she couldnot be brought up into the wind we had to let her falloff and run before it. Then, running under the lee (sheltered fromthe wind) of a smallisland called Clauda 12, wemanaged with some difficulty to secure the ship's boat.After hoisting it aboard they used cables (passed under thehull) to brace theship (andprevent it breaking up).To add to the difficulties they were afraid all the timeof drifting (southwest) on to the Syrtis banks 13 (the Gulf of Sirte or Sidra offmodern Libya), so theyshortened sail and lay to, drifting. The next day, as wewere still at the mercy of the violent storm, they beganto throw cargo overboard. On the third day with their ownhands they threw the ship's tackle over the side. Then,when for many days there was no glimpse of sun or starsand we were still in the grip of the gale, all hope ofour being saved was given up.
Paul's warning is disregarded. So Paul warned them, and said, 'Men, I can see that this voyage is likely to result in damage and considerable loss - not only to ship and cargo - but even of our lives as well.' But Julius paid more attention to the helmsman and the captain than to Paul's words of warning.

STORY 114 The End of All Badness. Shipwrecked in the storm of life. These first five verses are a detailed explanation of where the ship journeyed on the first part of the voyage. Paul and some other political prisoners, who were headed for Rome, were put into the charge of a centurion named Julius. If Paul is a prisoner of Rome, who is in control of Paul's life?
(Such storms mayseem unlikely in the Mediterranean, but in March 1942 twoItalian warships were overwhelmed and sunk in this samearea.)Paul's practical courage and faithNobody had eaten for sometime, when Paul came forward among the men and said,'Men, you should have listened to me and not setsail from Crete and suffered this damage and loss.However, now I beg you to keep up your spirits for noone's life is going to be lost, though we shall lose theship. I know this because last night, the angel of theGod to whom I belong, and whom I serve, stood by me andsaid, 'Have no fear, Paul! You must stand before Caesar.And God, as a mark of his favour towards you, has grantedyou the lives of those who are sailing with you.'
Takecourage then, men, for I believe God, and I am certainthat everything will happen exactly as I have been told.But we shall have to run the ship ashore on someisland.' At last we near landOn the fourteenth night ofthe storm, as we were drifting in the Adriatic 14 (or Adria Sea. Notthe modern Adriatic Sea, but the Ionian Sea betweensouthern Italy and Greece), about midnight the sailors sensed that wewere nearing land. Indeed, when they sounded they foundtwenty fathoms (120 feet or 35m), and then after sailing on only a littleway they sounded again and found fifteen. So, for fearthat we might be hurled on the rocks, they threw out fouranchors from the stern and prayed for daylight. Thesailors wanted to desert the ship and they got as far asletting down a boat into the sea, pretending that theywere going to run out anchors from the bow. But Paul saidto the centurion and the soldiers, 'Unless these menstay aboard the ship there is no hope of your beingsaved.'
At this the soldiers cutthe ropes of the boat and let her fall away.Paul's sturdy commonsenseThen while everyone waitedfor the day to break Paul urged them to take some food,saying, 'For a fortnight now you've had no food -you haven't had a bite while you've been on watch. Nowtake some food, I beg of you - you need it for your ownwell-being, for not a hair of anyone's head will belost.'
When he had said this hetook some bread and, after thanking God before them all,he broke it and began to eat. This raised everybody'sspirits and they began to take food themselves. Therewere about two hundred and seventy-six of us all toldaboard that ship. When they had eaten enough theylightened the ship by throwing the grain over the side.Land at last - but we lose the shipWhen daylight came no onerecognised the land. But they made out a bay with a sandyshore where they planned to beach the ship if they could.So they cut away the anchors and left them in the sea,and at the same time cut the ropes which held thesteering-oars. Then they hoisted the foresail to catchthe wind and made for the beach. But they struck a shoaland the ship ran aground.

The bow stuck fast, while thestern began to break up under the strain. The soldiers'plan had been to kill the prisoners in case any of themshould try to swim to shore and escape. But thecenturion, in his desire to save Paul, put a stop tothis, and gave orders that all those who could swimshould jump overboard first and get to land, while therest should follow, some on planks and other on thewreckage of the ship. So it came true that everyonereached the shore (. Paul's Bay, north east coast ofMalta) in safety.16.2 PAUL STAYS IN MALTA FOR THREE MONTHSActs28:1-10 - After ourescape we discovered that the island was called Melita 15 (Malta). The natives treated us with uncommonkindness. Because of the driving rain and cold they lit afire and made us all welcome.
Then when Paul hadcollected a large bundle of sticks and was about to putit on the fire, a viper driven out by the heat fasteneditself on his hand. When the natives saw the creaturehanging from his hand they said to each other, 'Thisman is obviously a murderer. He has escaped from the seabut justice will not let him live.' But Paul shookoff the viper into the fire without suffering any illeffect. Naturally they expected him to swell up orsuddenly fall down dead, but after waiting a long timeand seeing nothing untoward happen to him, they changedtheir minds and kept saying he was a god.Paul's acts of healing: the islanders'gratitudeIn that part of the islandwere estates belonging to the governor, whose name wasPublius. This man welcomed us and entertained us mostkindly for three days. Now it happened that Publius'father was lying ill with fever and dysentery.
Paulvisited him and after prayer laid his hands on him andhealed him. After that all the other sick people on theisland came forward and were cured. Consequently theyloaded us with presents, and when the time came for us tosail they provided us with everything we needed.16.3 PAUL COMPLETES HIS JOURNEY TO ROMEActs28:11-15 - It was noless than three months later (in the Spring) that we set sail in an Alexandrianship which had wintered in the island, a ship that hadthe heavenly twins (Castor and Pollux) as her figurehead. We put in at Syracuse16 and stayed there three days, and from there wetacked round to Rhegium 17 (modern Reggio). A day later the south wind sprang up andwe sailed to Puteoli 18 (near modern Naples, then terminus of thegrain and other ships arriving from the easternMediterranean),reaching it in only two days. There we found some of thebrothers and they begged us to stay a week with them, andso we finally came to Rome.A Christian welcome awaits us in thecapitalThe (Christian) brothers there had heard about usand came out from the city to meet us, as far as theMarket of Appius 19 (or Appii Forum) and the Three Taverns 20 (both on thefamous Appian Way, the road to Rome).
When Paul saw them he thanked God and hisspirits rose.16.4 UNDER HOUSE ARREST IN ROME FOR TWOYEARS, PAUL CONTINUES TO PREACH THE GOSPELActs28:16-23a - When wereached Rome 21Paul was given permission to live alone with the soldierwho was guarding him (the end of the last 'We'section).Paul explains himself frankly to theJews in RomeThree days later Paulinvited the leading Jews to meet him, and when theyarrived he spoke to them, 'Men and brothers,although I have done nothing against our people or thecustoms of our forefathers, I was handed over to theRomans as a prisoner in Jerusalem. They examined me andwere prepared to release me, since they found me guiltyof nothing deserving the death penalty. But the attacksof the Jews there forced me to appeal to Caesar - notthat I had any charge to make against my own nation. Butit is because of this accusation of the Jews that I haveasked to see you and talk matters over with you.
Inactual fact it is on account of the hope of Israel that Iam here in chains.' But they replied, 'Wehave received no letters about you from Judea, nor haveany of the brothers who have arrived here said anything,officially or unofficially, against you. We want to hearyou state your views, although as far as this sect isconcerned we do know that serious objections have beenraised to it everywhere.Paul's earnest and prolonged effort towin his own people for ChristWhen they had arranged aday for him they came to his lodging in great numbers.- Paulpreaches to the Jews of Rome in Acts 28:23b-28. Having only limited success,he declares that the Gospel of Jesus Christ willcontinue to be taken to the Gentiles;Somemanuscripts include a verse 29 - 'And whenhe had said these words, the Jews departed andhad a great dispute among themselves.'
-The last glimpse of Paul.Acts28:29-31 - So Paulstayed for two full years in his own rented apartmentwelcoming all who came to see him. He proclaimed to themall the kingdom of God and gave them the teaching of theLord Jesus Christ with the utmost freedom and withouthindrance from anyone.Duringthese two years (c AD61-63, range AD59-63), Paul isbelieved to have written his four 'prison'Letters - to the churches at Colossae and Ephesus,and to Philemon of Colossae all around the same time,as well as to the church in Philippi.
