Acts 27:15 in Context — Acts 27
13 E ao ventar brandamente ao sul, pareceu-lhes que eles já tinham o que queriam; e levantando a vela, foram por perto da costa de Creta.
14 Mas não muito depois houve contra ela um vento violento, chamado Euroaquilão.
15 E tendo o navio sido tomado por ele, e não podendo navegar contra o vento, nós deixamos sermos levados [por ele] .
16 E correndo abaixo de uma pequena ilha, chamada Clauda, com dificuldade conseguimos manter o barquinho de reserva;
17 O qual, tendo sido levado para cima, usaram de suportes [para] reforçarem o navio; e temendo irem de encontro aos bancos de areia, eles baixaram as velas e [deixaram] ir à deriva.
