for I trust in God, that it shall be so, according as it was told me. <A name="27"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>But we must be cast upon some island.<p> <A name="28"></a><p class="hdg">The Shipwreck<p><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the mariners thought they drew near to some land: <A name="29"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>and sounding they found <i>it</i> twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, and sounded again, they found <i>it</i> fifteen fathoms. <A name="30"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Then fearing least they should fall upon <i>some</i> rocky places, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for day. <A name="31"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>But the mariners endeavouring to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going to stretch out anchors from the head of the ship, <A name="32"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Unless these <i>men</i> stay in the ship ye cannot be saved. <A name="33"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.<p> <A name="34"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted <i>them</i> all to take <i>some</i> food, saying, Fourteen days this day ye continue waiting without <i>proper</i> food, having taken nothing: <A name="35"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>wherefore I exhort you to take <i>some</i> nourishment, for this is <i>necessary</i> for your safety: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you. <A name="36"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>And having spoken thus, he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of <i>them</i> all, and when he had broken <i>it</i> he began to eat. <A name="37"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>And being all encouraged they also took <i>some</i> food. <A name="38"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>And we were <i>in</i> all in the ship two hundred <i>and</i> seventy-six souls. <A name="39"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship and cast out the corn into the sea.<p> <A name="40"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>And when it was day, they did not know the land <i>near them:</i> but they perceived a certain creek with a shore, into which they were desirous, if they could, to have thrust the ship. <A name="41"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>And when they had taken up the anchors, they trusted <i>the ship</i> to the sea, at the same time, loosing the rudder-bands; and hoisting up the main-sail to the wind, they made to the shore. <A name="42"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>But falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship a-ground; and the fore-part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was dashed in pieces by the violence of the waves. <A name="43"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>And the counsel of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, least any <i>of them</i> should swim out and escape. <A name="44"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>But the centurion, desirous to save Paul, hindered them from <i>their</i> purpose, and ordered those that could swim to throw <i>themselves</i> out first, and get off to land: <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>and the rest, some on planks, and others on some <i>other things</i> out of the ship.
