In context
30The sailors were trying to escape from the ship. They had lowered the boat into the sea on the pretext of laying out anchors from the bow, 31when Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32So the soldiers cut the boat’s ropes and let it fall away. 33As day was about to break, Paul urged them all to eat something. “For fourteen days now,” he said, “you have been waiting in suspense, going without food, eating nothing. 34So I urge you to eat: it will keep you alive. Not one of you will lose a hair from his head.”
