Acts 27:27-32

²⁷But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land. ²⁸They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms. ²⁹Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight. ³⁰As 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, ³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you can`t be saved." ³²Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
