Acts 27:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ But we will ·crash [run aground] on ·an [^Lsome/a certain] island.”

²⁷ On the fourteenth night we were still ·being carried [drifting; or being driven] around in the Adriatic Sea [^Cthe sea between Greece and Italy including the central Mediterranean]. About ·midnight [^Lthe middle of the night] the sailors thought we were close to land, ²⁸ so they ·lowered a rope with a weight on the end of it into the water [took a sounding]. They found that the water was one hundred twenty feet deep [^Ltwenty fathoms]. They went a little farther and ·lowered the rope again [took a sounding]. It was ninety feet [^Lfifteen fathoms] deep.
