Acts 27:21-26

21After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss.

22But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.

23Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me

24and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’

25So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.

26Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island.”
