Acts 27:18 in context

  1. 16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
  2. 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.
  3. 18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
  4. 19On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
  5. 20When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
