Acts 27:22-36

[22] And  I exhort  to be of good cheer:  for  no  loss  of any man's life  among  but  of the ship.  [23] For  there stood by  night  the angel  of God,  whose  I am,  and  whom  I serve,  [24] Saying,  Fear  not,  Paul;  must  be brought before  Caesar:  and,  lo,  God  hath given  all  them that sail  with  [25] Wherefore,  sirs,  be of good cheer:  for  I believe  God,  that  it  even  as  it was told  [26] Howbeit  must  be cast  upon  a certain  island.  [27] But  when  the fourteenth  night  was come,  were driven up and down  in  Adria,  about  midnight  the shipmen  deemed  that they  drew near  to some  country;  [28] And  sounded,  and found  it twenty  fathoms:  and  when they had gone  a little further,  they sounded  again,  and  found  it fifteen  fathoms.  [29] Then  fearing  we should have fallen  rocks,  they cast  four  anchors  out of  the stern,  and wished  for the day.  [30] And  as the shipmen  were about  to flee  out of  the ship,  when  they had let down  the boat  into  the sea,  under colour  as though  they would  have cast  anchors  out of  the foreship,  [31] Paul  said  to the centurion  and  to the soldiers,  these  abide  in  the ship,  cannot  be saved.  [32] Then  the soldiers  cut off  the ropes  of the boat,  and  let  her  fall off.  [33] And  while  the day  was coming  on,  Paul  besought  them all  to take  meat,  saying,  This day  is the fourteenth  day  that ye have tarried  and continued  fasting,  having taken  nothing.  [34] Wherefore  I pray  some meat:  for  is  for  your  health:  for  an hair  the head  of any  [35] And  spoken,  he took  bread,  and gave thanks  to God  in presence  of them all:  and  when he had broken  it, he began  to eat.  [36] Then  they  all  of good cheer,  also  took  some meat.
