Acts 27:38-40

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³⁸ They ate all they wanted. Then they threw the grain into the water, so that the boat would not be so heavy.

³⁹ In the morning they saw land. But they did not know what country it was. They saw a sandy place. So they talked it over and thought they would try to get the boat on it.

⁴⁰ They cut off the anchors and left them in the water. At the same time, they untied the wood that guided the boat. They put up the big sail to catch the wind and tried to get the boat onto that sandy place.
