Acts 27

Paul sails for Rome amid a fierce storm in the Adriatic Sea; an angel of Theos assures him he will stand before Kaisar and all aboard will be spared, though the ship must run aground on an island.[1][2][5] Sailors attempt escape but are stopped by soldiers at Paul's warning; Paul urges all 276 to eat after giving thanks to Theos, encouraging them before the shipwreck.[1][2][3]
