DAY 28 FOR A GOAL OF READING THE BOOK OF ACTS IN 30 DAYS
AC-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
then taken away.
AC-27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the
midst of
them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not
have
loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
AC-27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there
shall
be no loss of [any man's] life among you, but of the ship.
AC-27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God,
whose I
am, and whom I serve,
