Acts 27:16 in context

  1. 14But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
  2. 15When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
  3. 16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
  4. 17After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
  5. 18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
