Acts 27 · Grade 3
Take Courage!
Read the Story
Paul sailed to Italy as a prisoner. The centurion Julius was kind to him. Paul warned that the trip would be dangerous, but they sailed on.
A strong wind called the Northeaster rushed down. The ship was caught. For many days they saw no sun or stars, and they gave up hope of being saved.
Paul stood up and told them to cheer up. An angel had told him not to be afraid. God would save all who sailed with him. Paul said, "For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me."
Paul urged them to eat. He took bread, gave thanks to God in front of everyone, and ate. They were all encouraged. There were 276 people on board. The ship ran aground and broke apart. But they all got safely to land.
