Acts 27:21-32

21And when they had been long without food, then PaulG3972 stoodG2476 forth in the midstG3319 of them, and saidG3004, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have setG321 sailG321 from CreteG2914, and have gotten this injury and lossG2209. 22And nowG3568 I exhort you to beG1510 of good cheer; for there shall beG1510 no loss of lifeG5590 among you, but only of the shipG4143. 23For there stoodG3936 by me this nightG3571 an angelG32 of the GodG2316 whose I amG1510, whom alsoG2532 I serveG3000, 24sayingG3004, FearG5399 not, PaulG3972; thou must standG3936 before Cæsar: and lo, GodG2316 hath grantedG5483 thee all them that sailG4126 with thee. 25Wherefore, sirs, beG1510 of good cheer: for I believeG4100 GodG2316, that it shall beG1510 even soG3779 as it hath beenG1510 spokenG2980 unto me. 26But we must be cast upon a certainG5100 islandG3520.

27But whenG5613 the fourteenth nightG3571 was comeG1096, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailorsG3492 surmised that they were drawing near to some countryG5561: 28and they sounded, and foundG2147 twentyG1501 fathomsG3712; and after a littleG1024 space, they sounded againG3825, and foundG2147 fifteenG1178 fathomsG3712. 29And fearingG5399 lestG3361 haply we should be castG4496 ashore on rocky ground, they let go fourG5064 anchorsG45 from the sternG4403, and wished for the dayG2250. 30And as the sailorsG3492 were seekingG2212 to fleeG5343 out of the shipG4143, and had lowered the boatG4143 into the seaG2281, under color as though they would lay out anchorsG45 from the foreship, 31PaulG3972 saidG3004 to the centurionG1543 and to the soldiersG4757, Except these abideG3306 in the shipG4143, ye cannot be savedG4982. 32Then the soldiersG4757 cutG609 away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
