The Acts

²²And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. ²³For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve, ²⁴saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee. ²⁵Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me. ²⁶Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. ²⁷But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country; ²⁸and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms: and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
