Acts 27:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda,^[a] we barely managed to secure the ship’s lifeboat. ¹⁷ The ship’s crew^[b] pulled it up on deck and used ropes to brace the ship. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank near Libya,^[c] they lowered the sail and drifted along. ¹⁸ The next day, because we were being tossed so violently by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard.
