Acts 27:27-29
Lexham English Bible
27 And when the fourteenth night had come, as[a] we were being driven in the Adriatic Sea about the middle of the night, the sailors suspected they were approaching some land.[b] 28 And taking soundings, they found twenty fathoms. So going on a little further and taking soundings again, they found fifteen fathoms. 29 And because they[c] were afraid lest somewhere we run aground against rough places, they threw down four anchors from the stern and[d] prayed for day to come.
