Acts 27:13-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

The Storm at Sea

¹³ When a moderate south wind began to blow, they thought they could achieve their purpose; so they weighed anchor and began to sail past Crete, close to the shore. ¹⁴ But soon a violent wind, called the northeaster, rushed down from Crete.^{[a] 15} Since the ship was caught and could not be turned with its head to the wind, we gave way to it and were driven.
