Acts of the Apostles 27:20

In context

18The storm battered us so violently that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard, 19and on the third day they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands. 20For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, the storm kept raging, and in the end every hope of our being saved was slipping away. 21They had gone a long time without food. Then Paul stood up among them and said: “Men, you should have listened to me and not put out from Crete; you would have spared yourselves this injury and loss. 22But now I urge you: take heart. Not one life among you will be lost — only the ship.
