Acts 27:17-19
English Standard Version Anglicised
17 After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would (A)run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear,[a] and thus they were driven along. 18 Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day (B)to jettison the cargo. 19 And on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.

New International Version
17 so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground(A) on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor[a] and let the ship be driven along. 18 We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.(B) 19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
