27:21 Since many of them had no desire to eat, ¹  Paul ²  stood up ³  among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me ⁴  and not put out to sea ⁵  from Crete, thus avoiding ⁶  this damage and loss. 27:22 And now I advise ⁷  you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost. ⁸  27:23 For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong ⁹  and whom I serve ¹⁰  came to me ¹¹  27:24 and said, ¹²  ‘Do not be afraid, Paul! You must stand before ¹³  Caesar, ¹⁴  and God has graciously granted you the safety ¹⁵  of all who are sailing with you.’ 27:25 Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God ¹⁶  that it will be just as I have been told. 27:26 But we must ¹⁷  run aground on some island.”
