Acts 27:19-25

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹ and on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. ²⁰ Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was slowly abandoned.

^21 [a]When many had lost their appetites, Paul then stood among them and said, “^[b](A)Men, you should have followed my advice and not have set sail from ^(B)Crete, and thereby spared yourselves this ^(C)damage and loss. ²² And yet now I urge you to ^(D)keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. ²³ For this very night ^(E)an angel of the God to whom I belong, ^(F)whom I also serve, ^(G)came to me, ²⁴ saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; ^(H)you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has graciously granted you ^(I)all those who are sailing with you.’ ²⁵ Therefore, ^(J)keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that ^[c]it will turn out exactly as I have been told.
