Acts 27:33-44

33RightG1161 up toG891 daybreakG2250G3195G1096, PaulG3972 kept urgingG3870 them allG537 to eatG3335G5160: “TodayG4594 is your fourteenthG5065 dayG2250 in constant suspenseG4328, without taking any foodG1300G4355G3367G777. 34SoG1352 forG4314 yourG5212 own preservationG4991, I urgeG3870 youG4771 to eat somethingG3335G5160, becauseG1063 not a singleG3762 hairG2359 ofG575 yourG4771 headG2776 will be lostG622.”

35After he had saidG2036 thisG3778, Paul tookG2983 breadG740 and gave thanksG2168 to GodG2316 in front ofG1799 them allG3956. ThenG2532 he brokeG2806 it and beganG756 to eatG2068. 36They wereG1096 allG3956 encouragedG2115 andG2532 tookG4355 some foodG5160 themselvesG846. 37In allG3956, there wereG1510 276G1250G1440G18031 of usG5590 onG1722 board. 38After the men had eaten their fillG2880G5160, they lightenedG2893 theG3588 shipG4143 by throwingG1544 theG3588 grainG4621 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281.

WhenG3753 daylightG2250 cameG1096, they did not recognizeG3756G1921 theG3588 landG1093, butG1161 they sightedG2657 aG5100 bayG2859 withG2192 a sandy beachG123, whereG1519G3739 they decidedG1011 to runG1856 theG3588 ship agroundG4143 ifG1487 they couldG1410. 40Cutting awayG4014 theG3588 anchorsG45, they leftG1439 them inG1519 theG3588 seaG2281 asG260 they loosenedG447 theG3588 ropesG2202 that held theG3588 ruddersG4079. ThenG2532 they hoistedG1869 theG3588 foresailG736 to theG3588 wind and madeG2722 forG1519 theG3588 beachG123. 41ButG1161 theG3588 shipG3491 struckG4045G1519 a sandbarG5117G1337 and ran agroundG2027. TheG3588 bowG4408 stuck fastG2043 and would not moveG3306G761, andG1161 theG3588 sternG4403 was being broken upG3089 byG5259 theG3588 poundingG970 of theG3588 wavesG2949.

TheG3588 soldiersG4757 plannedG1012 toG2443 killG615 theG3588 prisonersG1202 so noneG3361 of themG5100 could swimG1579 to freedomG1309. 43ButG1161 theG3588 centurionG1543, wantingG1014 to spareG1295 Paul’sG3972 life, thwartedG2967 theirG846 planG3588G1013. He commandedG2753 thoseG3588 who couldG1410 swimG2860 to jump overboardG641 firstG4413 and getG1826 toG1909 landG1093. 44TheG3588 restG3062 were to follow onG1909 planksG4548 andG1161 various partsG5100 ofG575 theG3588 shipG4143. In this wayG3779G1096 everyoneG3956 was brought safelyG1295 toG1909 landG1093.
