The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) · Day 348: Rules for the New Life (2024) · 13 Dec 2024 podcast

Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.

Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It's day 348. We're reading Acts of the Apostles, chapter 27, as well as the second half of St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians, chapters 4, 5, and 6. as well as in addition to Proverbs chapter 29, verses 22 through 24.

As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

It's day 348. We're reading Acts 27, Ephesians chapters 4, 5, and 6, and Proverbs chapter 29, verses 22 through 24. The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 27. Paul sails for Rome. And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.

And embarking in a ship of Atrametrium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica. The next day we put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.

and putting to sea from there we sailed under the lee of cyprus because the winds were against us and when we had sailed across the sea which is off cilicia and pamphylia we came to myra in lycia there the centurion found a ship of alexandria sailing for italy and put us on board

We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Sinaitis, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmoni. Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fairhavens, near which was the city of Lycia.

as much time had been lost and the voyage was already dangerous because the fast had already gone by paul advised them saying sirs i perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss not only of cargo and the ship but also of our lives but the centurion paid more attention to the captain and to the owner of the ship than to what paul said

and because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking northeast and southeast and winter there. The Storm at Sea And when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete close inshore.

But soon a tempestuous wind, called the Northeaster, struck down from the land, and when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven. and running under the lee of a small island called Kauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the boat. After hoisting it up, they took measures to undergird the ship.

Then, fearing that they should run on the Sirtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven. As we were violently storm-tossed, they began next day to throw the cargo overboard, and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackle of the ship. And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, Men, you should have listened to me and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss. I now bid you take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For this very night there stood by me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship.

And he said, Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you. So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. but we shall have to run on some island.

When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land. So they sounded and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms. And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let out four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow, Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved. Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it go.

As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing. Therefore, I urge you to take some food. It will give you strength, since not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.

And when he had said this, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all, he broke it and began to eat. Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves. We were in all 276 persons in the ship. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

The Shipwreck Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned, if possible, to bring the ship ashore. So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders, then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.

But, striking a shoal, they ran the vessel aground, the bow struck and remained immovable, and the stern was broken up by the surf." The soldier's plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape. But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their purpose.
