Acts 27:30-36

30Then when the sailors tried to escape from the ship and were lowering the ship’s boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow,

31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”

32Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it drift away.

33As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have been in suspense and have gone without food; you have eaten nothing.

34Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is important for your survival. For not one of you will lose a hair from his head.”

35After he said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all, broke it, and began to eat.

36So all of them were encouraged and took food themselves.
