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.
