Acts 27:38-40
1599 Geneva Bible
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 [a]And when it was day, they knew not the country, but they spied a certain [b]creek with a bank, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the ship.
40 So when they had taken up the anchors, they committed the ship unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoisted up the main sail to the wind, and drew to the shore.
