Acts 28:1

Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

But we must run aground on a certain island.”

After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

I will hurry, and not delay, to obey your commandments.

“For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

There they preached the Good News.

When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed, and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.

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.

Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

To them it was revealed, that they served not to themselves, but to you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
