The Passengers Believe Paul
Pastor Scott Brenner Acts 27:27-38
[27:27] Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land.
[27:28] And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.
[27:29] Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.
[27:30] And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,
[27:31] Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
[27:32] Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.
[27:33] And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.
[27:34] "Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you."
[27:35] And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.
[27:36] Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves.
[27:37] And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship.
[27:38] So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.
[27:28] And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.
[27:29] Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.
[27:30] And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,
[27:31] Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
[27:32] Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.
[27:33] And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.
