Acts 27:33-38

33Just before daybreak Paul was encouraging everyone to have something to eat. “This is the fourteenth day you have waited and have had nothing to eat.

34So I’m encouraging you to eat something. Eating will help you survive, since not a hair from anyone’s head will be lost.”

35After Paul said this, he took some bread, thanked God in front of everyone, broke it, and began to eat.

36Everyone was encouraged and had something to eat.

37(There were 276 of us on the ship.)

38After the people had eaten all they wanted, they lightened the ship by dumping the wheat into the sea.
