Acts 27

Settings

• 27:27But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about the middle of the night the sailors suspected that some land was approaching them. Compare
• 27:28And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they sounded again and found it to be fifteen fathoms. Compare
• 27:29And fearing that we might run aground somewhere on rocky places, they threw four anchors from the stern and wished for day to come. Compare
• 27:30And when the sailors sought to flee from the ship, having lowered the small boat into the sea under pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow, Compare
• 27:31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, you cannot be saved. Compare
• 27:32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the small boat and let it fall away. Compare
• 27:33And until day was about to come, Paul encouraged them all to take some food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued watching without food, taking nothing. Compare
• 27:34Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your salvation; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish. Compare
• 27:35And when he had said these things and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all; and he broke it and began to eat. Compare
• 27:36And all became cheerful, and they also took food. Compare
• 27:37Now we were in all two hundred and seventy-six souls in the ship. Compare
• 27:38And when they were satisfied with food, they began to lighten the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea. Compare
• 27:39And when day came, they could not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay, which had a beach, into which they took counsel to drive the ship, if they were able. Compare
• 27:40And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the bands of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the blowing of the wind, they held course for the beach. Compare
• 27:41But striking a sandbar with the sea on both sides, they ran the vessel aground; and the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was broken up by the violence of the waves. Compare
• 27:42And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone swim away and escape; Compare
• 27:43But the centurion, intending to bring Paul safely through, prevented them from their intention and ordered those who were able to swim to throw themselves overboard first and get to the land, Compare
• 27:44And the rest to follow, some on planks, and others on some of the things from the ship. And so it happened that all were brought safely through onto the land. Compare
