The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

27:27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

27:28And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

27:29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

27:30And 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,

27:31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

27:32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

27:33And 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.

27:34Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

27:35And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

Selected passage

27:36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

27:37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

27:38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

27:39And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

27:40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

27:41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

27:42And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

27:43But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

27:44And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
