Acts 27:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ After the men took the lifeboat in, they tied ·ropes [or cables] ·around [or under] the ship to hold it together. The men were afraid that the ship would ·hit [run aground on] the sandbanks of Syrtis [^Coff the coast of North Africa], so they lowered the ·sail [or sea anchor; ^Lgear] and let the wind carry the ship. ¹⁸ The next day the storm was blowing us so hard that the men threw out some of the cargo. ¹⁹ ·A day later [^LOn the third day] with their own hands they threw out the ship’s ·equipment [rigging; tackle; gear].
