33And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing,
34wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;`

36and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,
37(and we were -- all the souls in the ship -- two hundred, seventy and six),
38and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.
