23for there stood by me this night a messenger of God -- whose I am, and whom I serve --
24saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;
25wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,
26and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.`
27And when the fourteenth night came -- we being borne up and down in the Adria -- toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;
28and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
29and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.
