Acts 27:27-29

International Standard Version

The Shipwreck

²⁷ It was the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors suspected that land was near. ²⁸ After taking soundings, they found the depth to be twenty fathoms. A little later, they took soundings again and found it was fifteen fathoms. ²⁹ Fearing that we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and began praying for daylight to come.
