Acts 27:21-32

211When manyG4183 had lostG5225G776 their appetitesG776, PaulG3972 thenG5119 stoodG2476 amongG3319 them and saidG3004, “23MenG435, you shouldG1163 have followedG3980 my adviceG3980 and not have setG321 sailG321 from 4CreteG2914, and thereby sparedG2770 yourselves thisG3778 5damageG5196 and lossG2209. 22And yet nowG3568 I urgeG3867 you to 6keepG2114 upG2114 your courageG2114, for there will be noG3762 lossG580 of lifeG5590 amongG1537 you, but only of the shipG4143. 23For thisG3778 very nightG3571 7an angelG32 of the GodG2316 to whomG3739 I belongG1510, 8whomG3739 I alsoG2532 serveG3000, 9cameG3936 to me, 24sayingG3004, ‘Do not beG5399 afraidG5399, PaulG3972; 10you mustG1163 standG3936 beforeG3936 CaesarG2541; and beholdG2400, GodG2316 has graciouslyG5483 grantedG5483 you 11allG3956 thoseG3588 who are sailingG4126 with you.’ 25ThereforeG1352, 12keepG2114 upG2114 your courageG2114, menG435, for I believeG4100 GodG2316 that 13it will turnG1510 outG1510 exactlyG3779G2596G5158 as I have been toldG2980. 26But we mustG1163 14runG1601 agroundG1601 on a certainG5100 15islandG3520.”

27But whenG5613 the fourteenthG5065 nightG3571 cameG1096, as we were being drivenG1308 aboutG1308 in the AdriaticG99 Sea, aboutG2596 midnightG3319G3571 the sailorsG3492 began to suspectG5282 that 16they were approachingG4317 someG5100 landG5561. 28And they 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 17runG1601 agroundG1601 somewhereG4225 on the 18rocksG5138, they castG4496 fourG5064 anchorsG45 from the sternG4403 and 19prayedG2172 for daybreakG2250. 30But as the sailorsG3492 were tryingG2212 to escapeG5343 from the shipG4143 and had letG5465 downG5465 20the ship’s boatG4627 into the seaG2281, on the pretenseG4392 that they wereG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 layG1614 outG1614 anchorsG45 from the bowG4408, 31PaulG3972 saidG3004 to the centurionG1543 and the soldiersG4757, “UnlessG1437G3361 theseG3778 menG3778 remainG3306 on the shipG4143, you yourselvesG4771 cannotG1410G3756 be savedG4982.” 32ThenG5119 the soldiersG4757 cutG609 awayG609 the 21ropesG4979 of the ship’s boatG4627 and letG1439 it fallG1601 awayG1601.
