The document describes a shipwreck during a voyage with Paul. A violent storm arose and the ship was driven before the wind for many days. All hope was lost as they ran out of food and the ship began to break apart. Paul reassured the others that they would survive but the ship would be lost. As Paul predicted, they were able to land safely on an island after running aground, with all 276 people on board surviving.

The passage below is taken from a version of Columbus's journals edited by Bartolomeo de Las
Casas. As you read the passage, imagine the thrill of discovery that would have been experienced
by the sailors on board Columbus's ships. For them this was truly a venture into the unknown.
For many years Columbus's landing was judged to have been made on San Salvador (Watling
Island). A recent study retracing the voyage suggests that Columbus landed on the island of
Samana Cay, more than sixty miles to the southeast of San Salvador. Many scholars will not
agree with this new assertion, and the exact location of the island does not change the nature of
the reaction shown in this journal. If you wish to examine the new evidence, see the National
Geographic 170, no. 5 (November 1986): 566–605.
. . . the Admiral requested and admonished them to keep a sharp lookout at the castle of the bow,
and to look well for land, and said that he would give to him who first saw land a silk doublet,
besides the other rewards which the King and Queen had promised, namely and annual pension
of ten thousand maravedis to him who should see it first. Two hours after midnight, the land
appeared about two leagues off. They lowered all the sails, leaving only a storm square sail,
which is the mainsail without bonnets, and lay to until Friday when they reached a small island
of the Lucayos, called Guanahani by the natives. They soon saw people naked, and the Admiral
went on shore in the armed boat. . . . As soon as they had landed they saw trees of a brilliant
green abundance of water and fruits of various kinds. The Admiral called the two captains and
the rest who had come on shore . . . and he called them as witnesses to certify that he in the
presence of them all, was taking, as he in fact took possession of said island for the king and
Queen his masters, making the declarations that were required as they will be found more fully
in the attestations then taken down in writing. Soon after a large crowd of natives congregated
there. What follows are the Admiral's own words in his book on the first voyage and discovery
of these Indies.
"In order to win the friendship and affection of that people, and because I am convinced that
their conversion to our Holy Faith would be better promoted through love than through force; I
presented some of them with red caps and some strings of glass beads which they placed around
their necks, and with other trifles of insignificant worth that delighted them and by which we
have got a wonderful hold on their affections. They afterwards came to the boats of the vessels
swimming, bringing us parrots, cotton thread in balls, and spears, and many other things which
they bartered for others we gave them, as glass beads and little bells. . . . I saw but one very
young girl, all the rest being very young me ...

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. 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
along. Running under the lee of a small island
called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to
secure the ship's boat. A@er hoisAng it up, they
used supports to undergird the ship. Then,
fearing that they would run aground on the
SyrAs, they lowered the gear, and thus they
were driven along.
3. Since we were violently storm-‐tossed, they
began the next day to jeGson the cargo. 19 And
on the third day they threw the ship's tackle
overboard with their own hands. When neither
sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no
small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being
saved was at last abandoned.
4. Since they had been without food for a long
Ame, Paul stood up among them and said,
“Men, you should have listened to me and not
have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury
and loss. Yet now I urge you to take heart, for
there will be no loss of life among you, but only
of the ship.
5. For this very night there stood before 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 must
run aground on some island.”
6. When the fourteenth night had come, as we
were being driven across the AdriaAc Sea, about
midnight the sailors suspected that they were
nearing land. So they took a sounding and found
twenty fathoms. A liWle farther on they took a
sounding again and found fi@een fathoms. And
fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let
down four anchors from the stern and prayed
for day to come.
7. And as the sailors were seeking to escape from
the ship, and had lowered the ship's 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 ship's boat and let it go.
8. As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all
to take some food, saying, “Today is the
fourteenth day that you have conAnued in
suspense and without food, having taken
nothing. Therefore I urge you to take some food.
For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to
perish from the head of any of you.” And when
he had said these things, he took bread, and
giving thanks to God in the presence of all he
broke it and began to eat.
9. 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. Now when it was day, they did not
recognize the land, but they noAced a bay with a
beach, on which they planned if possible to run
the ship ashore.
10. So they cast off the anchors and le@ them in the
sea, at the same Ame loosening the ropes that
Aed the rudders. Then hoisAng the foresail to
the wind they made for the beach. But striking a
reef, they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck
and remained immovable, and the stern was
being broken up by the surf.
11. The soldiers' 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 plan. He ordered those who
could swim to jump overboard first and make for
the land, and the rest on planks or on pieces of
the ship. And so it was that all were brought
safely to land.
