31. Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33. And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34. Wherefore I pray you to take some food; for this is for your health: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.
35. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36. Then they were all of good cheer, and they also took food.
37. And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy six souls.
38. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast the wheat into the sea.
