Acts 27:31-41

31 Paul saw through their guise and told the centurion and his soldiers, "If these sailors don't stay with the ship, we're all going down."
32 So the soldiers cut the lines to the lifeboat and let it drift off.
33 With dawn about to break, Paul called everyone together and proposed breakfast: "This is the fourteenth day we've gone without food. None of us has felt like eating!
34 But I urge you to eat something now. You'll need strength for the rescue ahead. You're going to come out of this without even a scratch!"
35 He broke the bread, gave thanks to God, passed it around,
36 and they all ate heartily -
37 two hundred seventy-six of us, all told!
38 With the meal finished and everyone full, the ship was further lightened by dumping the grain overboard.
39 At daybreak, no one recognized the land - but then they did notice a bay with a nice beach. They decided to try to run the ship up on the beach.
40 They cut the anchors, loosed the tiller, raised the sail, and ran before the wind toward the beach.
41 But we didn't make it. Still far from shore, we hit a reef and the ship began to break up.
