Acts 27:29-31

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²⁹ Then they were afraid that we would hit the rocks. There were four heavy iron hooks called anchors. They let them down into the water at the back end of the boat. Then they wished that morning would come.

³⁰ The boatmen wanted to get off and leave the boat. They even put down the small boat into the water. They said they were going to put more anchors out from the front of the big boat.

³¹ But Paul said to the officer and soldiers, `If these men do not stay on the boat, you cannot be saved.'
