← Acts 27:37	Acts 27:38 (KJV)	Acts 27:39 →
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.	And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
