Acts 27:27-29

27On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea.1 About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land. 28They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep.2 Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.3 29Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
