Acts 27:15 in Context — Acts 27
13 Un léger vent du sud vint à souffler, et, se croyant maîtres de leur dessein, ils levèrent l’ancre et côtoyèrent de près l’île de Crète.
14 Mais bientôt un vent impétueux, qu’on appelle Euraquilon, se déchaîna sur l’île.
15 Le navire fut entraîné, sans pouvoir lutter contre le vent, et nous nous laissâmes aller à la dérive.
16 Nous passâmes au-dessous d’une petite île nommée Clauda, et nous eûmes de la peine à nous rendre maîtres de la chaloupe;
17 après l’avoir hissée, on se servit des moyens de secours pour ceindre le navire, et, dans la crainte de tomber sur la Syrte, on abaissa les voiles. C’est ainsi qu’on se laissa emporter par le vent.
