Acts 27:22

Verse 22 of 44. The 27th of 28 chapters in Acts, in Acts.

18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

19On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

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.

21When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss.

22Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

23For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

24saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

25Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

26But we must run aground on a certain island.”
