NEW TESTAMENT

27 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band (group).

² And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

³ And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

⁴ And when we had launched from thence (there), we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁵ And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

⁶ And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

⁷ And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus (and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus), the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

⁸ And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh (near) whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁹ Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished (strongly warned) them,

¹⁰ And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive (sense) that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹ Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² And because the haven (harbor) was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence (there) also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an (a) haven (harbor) of Crete, and lieth (lies) toward the south west and north west.

The Tempest at Sea

¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete (they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore).

¹⁴ But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind (strong windstorm), called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

¹⁶ And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

¹⁷ Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail (lowered the sails), and so were driven.

¹⁸ And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest (storm), the next day they lightened the ship;

¹⁹ And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest (small storm) lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

²¹ But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye (you) should have hearkened unto (paid attention to) me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

²² And now I exhort (encourage) you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.

²³ For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

²⁴ Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou (you) must be brought before Caesar: and, lo (look), God hath (has) given thee (you) all them that sail with thee (you).

²⁵ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

²⁶ Howbeit (Nevertheless,) we must be cast upon a certain island (we must run [the ship] aground on some island).

To the Chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

40 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

² He brought me up also out of an horrible pit (from hell), out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

³ And he hath (He has) put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

⁴ Blessed is that man that maketh (makes) the Lord his trust, and respecteth (respects) not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

⁵ Many, O Lord my God, are thy (You) wonderful works which thou hast (You have) done, and thy (You) thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee (You): if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering thou didst not (You did not) desire; mine ears hast thou opened (You have opened my ears): burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not (You have not) required.

⁷ Then said I, Lo (Look), I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

⁸ I delight to do thy (Your) will, O my God: yea (yes), thy (Your) law is within my heart.

⁹ I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo (look), I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest (You know).

¹⁰ I have not hid thy (hidden Your) righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy (Your) faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy (Your) lovingkindness and thy (Your) truth from the great congregation.

¹¹ Withhold not thou thy (Do not withhold Your) tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy (Your) lovingkindness and thy (Your) truth continually preserve me.

¹² For innumerable evils have compassed me about (surrounded me / taken hold of me): mine iniquities (my sins) have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine (my) head: therefore my heart faileth (fails) me.

¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver (rescue) me: O Lord, make haste (hurry) to help me.

¹⁴ Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

¹⁵ Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

¹⁶ Let all those that seek thee (You) rejoice and be glad in thee (You): let such as love thy (Your) salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

¹⁷ But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh (thinks) upon me: thou art (You are) my help and my deliverer (savior); make no tarrying (waiting), O my God.

41 Blessed is he that considereth (considers) the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

² The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt (You will) not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

³ The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness (In his illness, You will restore him to health).

⁴ I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee (You).

⁵ Mine (My) enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

⁶ And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity (speaks empty words) : his heart gathereth iniquity (gathers sin) to itself; when he goeth (goes) abroad, he telleth (tells) it.

⁷ All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

⁸ An evil disease, say they, cleaveth (cleave, hold) fast unto him: and now that he lieth (lies) he shall rise up no more.

⁹ Yea (Yes), mine (my) own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath (has) lifted up his heel against me (betrayed me).

¹⁰ But thou (You), O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite (repay) them.

¹¹ By this I know that thou favourest (You favor) me, because mine (my) enemy doth (does) not triumph over me.

¹² And as for me, thou upholdest (You uphold) me in mine (my) integrity, and settest (sets) me before thy face (Your presence) for ever.

¹³ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

To the Chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah

42 As the hart panteth (deer pants) after the water brooks, so panteth (pants, longs) my soul after thee (You), O God.

² My soul thirsteth (is thirsty) for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

³ My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy (your) God?

⁴ When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

⁵ Why art thou cast down (why are you sad), O my soul? and why art thou disquieted (and why are you restless) in me? hope thou in God (put your hope in God): for I shall yet praise him (Him) for the help of his countenance (His presence).

⁶ O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee (You) from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites (Mount Hermon), from the hill Mizar.

⁷ Deep calleth (calls) unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts (Your waterfalls): all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me (All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me).

⁸ Yet the Lord will command his (His) lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his (His) song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

⁹ I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou (have You) forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

¹⁰ As with a sword in my bones, mine (my) enemies reproach (taunt / mock) me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy (your) God?

¹¹ Why art thou cast down (why are you sad), O my soul? and why art thou disquieted (and why are you restless) in me? hope thou (you) in God: for I shall yet praise him (Him), who is the health of my countenance (the expression of my face), and my God.

FOOTNOTES

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-

VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW

In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach = Messiah (English) / Anointed One

In Hebrew (full name): יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One.

NOTES:-

1. Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

2. Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God / Yah saves.

3. Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).

4. Yahusha as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) adds Yasha יָשַׁע (H3467 )

In Greek = Christos

In English = Christ =  Messiah = Anointed One

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God Himself: The Word of God warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / God has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
