Acts 27:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ After hoisting it up they took measures^[a] to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they would run on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and so were driven. ¹⁸ We were being pounded by the storm so violently that on the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard, ¹⁹ and on the third day with their own hands they threw the ship’s tackle overboard.
