Acts 27:30 CPDV

²⁸  And upon dropping a weight, they found a depth of twenty paces. And some distance from there, they found a depth of fifteen paces.

²⁹  Then, fearing that we might happen upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and they were hoping for daylight to arrive soon.

³⁰  Yet truly, the sailors were seeking a way to flee from the ship, for they had lowered a lifeboat into the sea, on the pretext that they were attempting to cast anchors from the bow of the ship.

³¹  So Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, 'Unless these men remain in the ship, you will not be able to be saved.'

³²  Then the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat, and they allowed it to fall.
