Acts 27:20

Read in context

Acts 27:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.

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

20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.

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.
