Acts 27:39-41
Lexham English Bible

The Shipwreck

39 Now when day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which they decided to run the ship ashore if they could. 40 And slipping the anchors, they left them[a] in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes[b] of the steering oars. And hoisting the foresail to the wind that was blowing, they held course for the beach. 41 But falling into a place of crosscurrents,[c] they ran the ship aground. And the bow stuck fast and[d] stayed immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence.[e]
