Acts 27:27-36

27But whenG5613 the fourteenthG5065 nightG3571 cameG1096, as we were being drivenG1308 aboutG1308 in the AdriaticG99 Sea, aboutG2596 midnightG3319G3571 the sailorsG3492 began to surmiseG5282 that 1they 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 2runG1601 agroundG1601 somewhereG4225 on the 3rocksG5138, they castG4496 fourG5064 anchorsG45 from the sternG4403 and 4wishedG2172 for daybreakG2250. 30But as the sailorsG3492 were tryingG2212 to escapeG5343 from the shipG4143 and had letG5465 downG5465 5the 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 6ropesG4979 of the ship’s boatG4627 and letG1439 it fallG1601 awayG1601.

33UntilG891 the dayG2250 was aboutG3195 to dawnG1096, PaulG3972 was encouragingG3870 them allG537 to takeG3335 some foodG5160, sayingG3004, “TodayG4594 is the fourteenthG5065 dayG2250 that you have been constantlyG1300 watchingG4328 and going withoutG777 eatingG777, having takenG4355 nothingG3367. 34ThereforeG1352 I encourageG3870 you to takeG3335 some foodG5160, for thisG3778 is for your preservationG4991, for 7not a hairG2359 from the headG2776 of anyG3762 of you will perishG622.” 35Having saidG3004 thisG3778, he tookG2983 breadG740 and 8gaveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 in the presenceG1799 of allG3956, and he brokeG2806 it and beganG757 to eatG2068. 36AllG3956 9of them 10were encouragedG2115 and they themselvesG846 also tookG4355 foodG5160.
