Acts 27:15-20 It hit the ship and it was impossible to keep the ship headed into the wind. We gave up trying and let it be carried along by the wind.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ It hit the ship and it was impossible to keep the ship headed into the wind. We gave up trying and let it be carried along by the wind. ¹⁶ We had shelter when we passed to the south of the little island of Cauda. There, with some difficulty we managed to make the ship’s boat secure. ¹⁷ They pulled it aboard and then fastened some ropes tight around the ship. They were afraid that they might run into the sandbanks (quicksand) off the coast of Libya, so they lowered the sail and allowed the ship be carried by the wind. ¹⁸ The violent storm continued. The next day they began to throw some of the ship’s cargo overboard. ¹⁹ The following day they threw part of the ship’s equipment overboard. ²⁰ The sun and stars did not appear for many days. No small tempest pressed upon us. All hope of our being saved was taken away.
