Acts 27:13-15

Expanded Bible

The Storm

¹³ When a ·good [moderate; gentle] wind began to blow from the south, the men on the ship thought they ·could reach their goal [or had achieved their objective; or had the opportunity they were waiting for]. So they pulled up the anchor, and we sailed very close to the island of Crete. ¹⁴ But ·then [^Lnot long after this] a ·very strong [violent; hurricane-like] wind named the “northeaster” came from ·the island [^Lit]. ¹⁵ The ship was caught in it and could not sail against it. So we stopped trying and ·let the wind carry us [^Lwere driven along].
