Acts 27:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ As we sailed on the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we were barely able to secure the skiff.^{[a] 17} After hoisting it on board, the men tied ropes around the ship to reinforce it. Then, fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and in this way were driven along. ¹⁸ Because we were tossed around so violently by the storm, the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.
