Acts 27:25 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 27.
21 After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.
22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.
23 For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25 So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
26 However, we must run aground on some island.”
27 On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28 They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep. Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
