Acts 27 · Grade 4

No Loss of Life

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul and other prisoners were handed to Julius, a centurion, who treated Paul kindly. Sailing was slow and dangerous. Paul warned that the voyage would bring loss to the ship and their lives. But the centurion listened to the ship's master and owner instead.

Soon a stormy wind called Euroclydon struck. The ship was caught and could not face the wind. They threw cargo and the ship's tackle overboard. For many days neither sun nor stars shone, and all hope of being saved was taken away.

Paul stood up and said, "Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship." An angel of the God he served had stood by him. The angel said Paul must stand before Caesar, and God had granted him all who sailed with him. "Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me."

On the fourteenth night, the sailors sensed land. Paul urged everyone to eat. He took bread, gave thanks to God in the presence of all, broke it, and began to eat. All were cheered. They were 276 people in all. The ship struck a reef and broke apart. Some swam and the rest followed on planks. So they all escaped safely to the land.
