Acts 27:18 CPDV

¹⁶  Then, being forced along a certain island, which is called the Tail, we were barely able to hold on to the ship's lifeboat.

¹⁷  When this was taken up, they used it to assist in securing the ship. For they were afraid that they might run aground. And having lowered the sails, they were being driven along in this way.

¹⁸  Then, since we were being tossed about strongly by the tempest, on the following day, they threw the heavy items overboard.

¹⁹  And on the third day, with their own hands, they threw the equipment of the ship overboard.

²⁰  Then, when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no end to the storm was imminent, all hope for our safety was now taken away.
