Bible Story: ‘Paul is shipwrecked’ - easy to tell


Don’t be afraid. Nobody is going to drown...

Paul knows that it is autumn, and that it will soon be winter. Then the weather is much worse, often with storms and rain. It’s better not to go sailing then.

“Men, listen,’ says Paul. “I think that it’s would be better if we didn’t go any further. It would be better for us to stay here in the harbour until winter is over. If we sail now it could become very dangerous.”

“Not at all!” say the captain and the first mate. “We’re just going to start sailing, and when winter comes we’ll find another harbour where we can stay. The weather is fine at the moment.”

Julius listens to the captain. They must know best. What does Paul know about sailing?
