Acts 27:15 Context
13And when the South wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Creete. 14But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous winde, called Euroclydon. 15And when the ship was caught, and could not beare vp into the winde, we let her driue. 16And running vnder a certaine yland, which is called Clauda, wee had much worke to come by the boate: 17Which when they had taken vp, they vsed helps, vnder-girding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicke-sands, strake saile, and so were driuen.
