Acts 27:27-36

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. 33And while the dayG2250 was comingG1096 on, PaulG3972 besought them all to take some foodG5160, sayingG3004, This dayG2250 is the fourteenth dayG2250 that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothingG3367. 34Wherefore I beseech you to take some foodG5160: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hairG2359 perishG622 from the headG2776 of any of you. 35And when he had saidG3004 this, and had takenG2983 breadG740, he gaveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 in the presenceG1799 of all; and he brake it, and beganG757 to eatG2068. 36Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves alsoG2532 took foodG5160.
