Acts 27:29 Context
27But when the fourteenth night was come, as wee were driuen vp and downe in Adria about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they drew neere to some countrey: 28And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded againe, and found it fifteene fathoms. 29Then fearing lest we should haue fallen vpon rockes, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished for the day. 30And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let downe the boat into the sea, vnder colour as though they would haue cast ancres out of the fore-ship, 31Paul said to the Centurion, and to the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saued.
