Acts 27:34

Acts 27:34

32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.

33 And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.

34 Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, ^asince not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.”

35 And when he had said these things, he took bread and ^agave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.

36 Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves.

37 And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six ^apersons on the ship.

38 So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.
