44:027:026 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
44:027:027 But 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;
44:027:028 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had
gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it
fifteen fathoms.
44:027:029 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
44:027:030 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,
44:027:031 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
44:027:032 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her
fall off.
44:027:033 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.
44:027:034 Wherefore 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.
44:027:035 And 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.
