Acts 27:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ The ship’s crew^[a] pulled it up on deck and used ropes to brace the ship. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank near Libya,^[b] 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. ¹⁹ On the third day they threw the ship’s equipment overboard with their own hands.
