Acts 27:21-32

211When they had goneG5225 a longG4183 timeG776 withoutG776 foodG776, thenG5119 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 up in their midstG3319 and saidG3004, “2MenG435, you oughtG1163 to have 3followedG3980 my adviceG3980 and not to have setG321 sailG321 from 4CreteG2914 and 5incurredG2770 thisG3778 6damageG5196 and lossG2209. 22Yet nowG3568 I urgeG3867 you to 7keepG2114 up your courageG2114, for there will be noG3762 lossG580 of lifeG5590 amongG1537 you, but only of the shipG4143. 23For thisG3778 very nightG3571 8an angelG32 of the GodG2316 to whomG3739 I belongG1510 and 9whomG3739 I serveG3000 10stoodG3936 beforeG3936 me, 24sayingG3004, ‘Do not be afraidG5399, PaulG3972; 11you mustG1163 standG3936 beforeG3936 CaesarG2541; and beholdG2400, GodG2316 has grantedG5483 you 12allG3956 thoseG3588 who are sailingG4126 with you.’ 25ThereforeG1352, 13keepG2114 up your courageG2114, menG435, for I believeG4100 GodG2316 that 14it will turnG1510 out exactlyG3779G2596G5158 as I have been toldG2980. 26But we mustG1163 15runG1601 agroundG1601 on a certainG5100 16islandG3520.”

27But whenG5613 the fourteenthG5065 nightG3571 cameG1096, as we were being drivenG1308 aboutG1308 in the AdriaticG99 Sea, aboutG2596 midnightG3319G3571 the sailorsG3492 began to surmiseG5282 that 17they were approachingG4317 someG5100 landG5561. 28They tookG1001 soundingsG1001 and foundG2147 it to be twentyG1501 fathomsG3712; and a littleG1024 fartherG1339 on they tookG1001 anotherG3825 soundingG1001 and foundG2147 it to be fifteenG1178 fathomsG3712. 29FearingG5399 that we might 18runG1601 agroundG1601 somewhereG4225 on the 19rocksG5138, they castG4496 fourG5064 anchorsG45 from the sternG4403 and 20wishedG2172 for daybreakG2250. 30But as the sailorsG3492 were tryingG2212 to escapeG5343 from the shipG4143 and had letG5465 downG5465 21the ship’s boatG4627 into the seaG2281, on the pretenseG4392 of intendingG3195 to layG1614 out anchorsG45 from the bowG4408, 31PaulG3972 saidG3004 to the centurionG1543 and to the soldiersG4757, “UnlessG1437G3361 theseG3778 menG3778 remainG3306 in the shipG4143, you yourselvesG4771 cannotG1410G3756 be savedG4982.” 32ThenG5119 the soldiersG4757 cutG609 awayG609 the 22ropesG4979 of the ship’s boatG4627 and letG1439 it fallG1601 awayG1601.
