Acts 27:21-31

21 As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.
22 I now bid you take heart; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 For this very night there stood by me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,
24 and he said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and lo, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25 So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.
26 But we shall have to run on some island."
27 When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of A'dria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.
28 So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.
29 And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let out four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.
30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
