A Violent Storm at Sea
13 And when[a] a southwest wind began to blow gently, because they[b] thought they could accomplish their purpose, they weighed anchor and[c] sailed close along Crete. 14 But not long afterward a wind like a hurricane, called the northeaster,[d] rushed down from it.[e] 15 And when[f] the ship was caught and was not able to head into the wind, we gave way and[g] were driven along.
