Acts 27:17-44

17WhichG3739 when they had taken it upG142, they usedG5530 cablesG996, undergirdingG5269 the shipG4143; andG5037, fearingG5399 lestG3361 they should fallG1601 intoG1519 the quicksandsG4950, struckG5465 sailG4632, and soG3779 were drivenG5342. 18AndG1161 weG2257 being exceedinglyG4971 tossed with a tempestG5492, the nextG1836 day they lightened the shipG1546G4160; 19AndG2532 the thirdG5154 day we cast outG4496 with our own handsG849 the tacklingG4631 of the shipG4143. 20AndG1161 when neitherG3383 sunG2246 norG3383 starsG798 inG1909 manyG4119 daysG2250 appearedG2014, andG5037 noG3756 smallG3641 tempestG5494 lay onG1945 us, allG3956 hopeG1680 that weG2248 should be savedG4982 wasG4014 thenG3063 taken awayG4014.

21ButG1161 afterG5225 being longG4183 without foodG776G5119 PaulG3972 stood forthG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of themG846, and saidG2036, SirsG5599G435, ye shouldG1163G3303 have hearkenedG3980 to meG3427, and notG3361 have loosedG321 fromG575 CreteG2914, andG5037 to have gainedG2770 thisG5026 harmG5196 andG2532 lossG2209. 22AndG2532 nowG3569 I exhortG3867 youG5209 to be of good cheerG2114: forG1063 there shall beG2071 noG3762 lossG580 of lifeG5590 amongG1537 youG5216, butG4133 of the shipG4143. 23ForG1063 there stood byG3936 meG3427 thisG5026 nightG3571 the angelG32 of GodG2316, whoseG3739 I amG1510, andG2532 whomG3739 I serveG3000, 24SayingG3004, FearG5399 notG3361, PaulG3972; thouG4571 mustG1163 be brought beforeG3936 CaesarG2541: andG2532, loG2400, GodG2316 hath givenG5483 theeG4671 allG3956 them that sailG4126 withG3326 theeG4675. 25ThereforeG1352, sirsG435, be of good cheerG2114: forG1063 I believeG4100 GodG2316, thatG3754 itG3779 shall beG2071 evenG2596G3739 asG5158 it was toldG2980 to meG3427. 26ButG1161 weG2248 mustG1163 be castG1601 uponG1519 a certainG5100 isleG3520. 27ButG1161 whenG5613 the fourteenthG5065 nightG3571 was comeG1096, as weG2257 were driven up and downG1308 inG1722 AdriaG99, aboutG2596 midnightG3319G3571 the shipmenG3492 thoughtG5282 that theyG846 drew nearG4317 to someG5100 countryG5561; 28AndG2532 soundedG1001, and foundG2147 it twentyG1501 fathomsG3712: andG1161 when they had goneG1339 a little furtherG1024, they soundedG1001 againG3825, andG2532 foundG2147 it fifteenG1178 fathomsG3712. 29ThenG5037 fearingG5399 lestG3381G4458 we should fallG1601 uponG1519 rocksG5117G5138, they castG4496 fourG5064 anchorsG45 out ofG1537 the sternG4403, and wishedG2172G1096 for the dayG2250. 30AndG1161 as the shipmenG3492 were aboutG2212 to fleeG5343 out ofG1537 the shipG4143, whenG2532 they had let downG5465 the boatG4627 intoG1519 the seaG2281, under pretenceG4392 as thoughG5613 they wouldG3195 castG1614 anchorsG45 out ofG1537 the foreshipG4408, 31PaulG3972 saidG2036 to the centurionG1543 andG2532 to the soldiersG4757, ExceptG3362 theseG3778 abideG3306 inG1722 the shipG4143, yeG5210 cannotG3756G1410 be savedG4982. 32ThenG5119 the soldiersG4757 cut offG609 the ropesG4979 of the boatG4627, andG2532 letG1439 herG846 fall offG1601. 33AndG1161 whileG891G3739 the dayG2250 was comingG1096 onG3195, PaulG3972 besoughtG3870 them allG537 to takeG3335 foodG5160, sayingG3004, This dayG4594 is the fourteenthG5065 dayG2250 that ye have tarriedG4328 and continuedG1300 fastingG777, having takenG4355 nothingG3367. 34ThereforeG1352 I beseechG3870 youG5209 to takeG4355 some foodG5160: forG1063 thisG5124 isG5225 forG4314 yourG5212 healthG4991: forG1063 there shallG4098 notG3762 an hairG2359 fallG4098 fromG1537 the headG2776 of anyG3762 of youG5216. 35AndG1161 when he had thusG5023 spokenG2036, he tookG2983 breadG740, and gave thanksG2168 to GodG2316 in presenceG1799 of them allG3956: andG2532 when he had brokenG2806 it, he beganG756 to eatG2068. 36ThenG1161 theyG846 wereG1096 allG3956 of good cheerG2115, and theyG4355 alsoG2532 tookG4355 foodG5160. 37AndG1161 we wereG2258 in allG3956 inG1722 the shipG4143 two hundredG1250 and seventy and sixG1440G1803 soulsG5590. 38AndG1161 when they had eatenG5160 enoughG2880, they lightenedG2893 the shipG4143, and castG1544 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 the seaG2281. 39AndG1161 whenG3753 it wasG1096 dayG2250, they knewG1921 notG3756 the landG1093: butG1161 they discoveredG2657 a certainG5100 creekG2859 withG2192 a shoreG123, intoG1519 whichG3739 they purposedG1011, ifG1487 it were possibleG1410, to thrust inG1856 the shipG4143. 40AndG2532 when they had taken upG4014 the anchorsG45, they committedG1439 themselves toG1519 the seaG2281, andG260 loosedG447 the rudderG4079 bandsG2202, andG2532 hoistedG1869 the mainsailG736 to the windG4154, and madeG2722 towardG1519 the shoreG123.1 41AndG1161 fallingG4045 intoG1519 a placeG5117 where two seas metG1337, they ranG2027 the shipG3491 agroundG2027; andG2532 the bowG4408G3303 stuck fastG2043, and remainedG3306 unmoveableG761, butG1161 the sternG4403 was brokenG3089 withG5259 the violenceG970 of the wavesG2949. 42AndG1161 the soldiersG4757’ counselG1012 wasG1096 toG2443 killG615 the prisonersG1202, lestG3361 any of themG5100 should swim outG1579, and escapeG1309. 43ButG1161 the centurionG1543, willingG1014 to saveG1295 PaulG3972, keptG2967 themG846 from their purposeG1013; andG5037 commandedG2753 that they who couldG1410 swimG2860 should castG641 themselves firstG4413 into the sea, and getG1826 toG1909 landG1093: 44AndG2532 the restG3062, someG3739G3303 onG1909 boardsG4548, andG1161 someG3739 onG1909 broken pieces ofG575 the shipG4143G5100.
