Acts 27:33-44

33UntilG891 the dayG2250 wasG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 dawnG1096, PaulG3972 kept 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 inG4355 nothingG3367. 34ThereforeG1352, I encourageG3870 you to takeG3335 some foodG5160, for thisG3778 is for your survivalG4991, for 1not a hairG2359 from the headG2776 of anyG3762 of you will perishG622.” 35Having saidG3004 thisG3778, he tookG2983 breadG740 and 2gaveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 them allG3956, and he brokeG2806 it and beganG757 to eatG2068. 36AllG3956 3of them 4were encouragedG2115 and they themselvesG846 also tookG4355 foodG5160. 37We were 276G1250G1440G1803 56peopleG5590 on the shipG4143 in allG3956. 38When they had eatenG2880G5160 enoughG2880, they began lighteningG2893 the shipG4143 by 7throwingG1544 the wheatG4621 outG1544 into the seaG2281.

39NowG1161 whenG3753 dayG2250 cameG1096, 8they 9could not recognizeG1921 the landG1093; but they did noticeG2657 a bayG2859 with a beachG123, and they resolvedG1011 to runG1856 the shipG4143 ontoG1856 it ifG1487 they couldG1410. 40And castingG4014 offG4014 10the anchorsG45, they leftG1439 them in the seaG2281 while at the sameG260 timeG260 they were looseningG447 the ropesG2202 of the ruddersG4079; and they hoistedG1869 the foresailG736 to the windG4154 and were headingG2722 for the beachG123. 41But they struckG4045 a 11reefG5117 whereG1337 twoG1337 seasG1337 metG1337 and ranG1946 the shipG3491 agroundG1946; and the prowG4408 stuckG2043 firmlyG2043 and remainedG3306 immovableG761, whileG1161 the sternG4403 started to breakG3089 upG3089 dueG5259 toG5259 the forceG970 of the waves. 42The soldiers’G4757 planG1012 was to 12killG615 the prisonersG1202, soG3361 thatG3361 noneG3361G5100 of them would swimG1579 awayG1579 and escapeG1309; 43but the centurionG1543, 13wantingG1014 to bringG1295 PaulG3972 safelyG1295 throughG1295, keptG2967 them from accomplishing their intentionG1013, and commandedG2753 that thoseG3588 who couldG1410 swimG2860 were to 14jumpG641 overboardG641 firstG4413 and getG1826 to landG1093, 44and the restG3062 were to follow, someG3739G3303 on planksG4548, and othersG3739G1161 on variousG5100 thingsG5100 from the shipG4143. And soG3779 it happenedG1096 that 15they allG3956 were broughtG1295 safelyG1295 to landG1093.
