Acts 27:28–36

²⁸They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.↗

²⁹Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.↗

³⁰As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,↗

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”↗

³²Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.↗

³³While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.↗

³⁴Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”↗

³⁵When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.↗

³⁶Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.↗
