Acts 27:30-36

30But as the sailors were trying to escape [secretly] from the ship and had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow,

31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain on the ship, you cannot be saved.”

32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes that held the skiff and let it fall and drift away.

33While they waited for the day to dawn, Paul encouraged them all [and told them] to have some food, saying, “This is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly on watch and going without food, having eaten nothing.

34So I urge you to eat some food, for this is for your survival; for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.”

35Having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all, and he broke it and began to eat.

36Then all of them were encouraged and their spirits improved, and they also ate some food.
