Acts 27:29 in Context — Acts 27
27 Y venida la décimacuarta noche, y siendo llevados por el [mar] Adriático, los marineros á la media noche sospecharon que estaban cerca de alguna tierra;
28 Y echando la sonda, hallaron veinte brazas; y pasando un poco más adelante, volviendo á echar la sonda, hallaron quince brazas.
29 Y habiendo temor de dar en lugares escabrosos, echando cuatro anclas de la popa, deseaban que se hiciese de día.
30 Entonces procurando los marineros huir de la nave, echado que hubieron el esquife á la mar, aparentando como que querían largar las anclas de proa,
31 Pablo dijo al centurión y á los soldados: Si éstos no quedan en la nave, vosotros no podéis salvaros.
