After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow, <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 stay in the ship, you can't be saved." <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads." <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Then they all cheered up, and they also took food. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>When it was day, they didn't recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land; <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/27-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">The World English Bible is a 1997 revision of the American Standard Version of the Holy Bible, first published in 1901.
