Acts 27:39 in Context — Acts 27

37 Y éramos todas las personas en la nave doscientas setenta y seis.

38 Y satisfechos de comida, aliviaban la nave, echando el grano á la mar.

39 Y como se hizo de día, no conocían la tierra: mas veían un golfo que tenía orilla, al cual acordaron echar, si pudiesen, la nave.

40 Cortando pues las anclas, las dejaron en la mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al viento, íbanse á la orilla.

41 Mas dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa, hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abría con la fuerza de la mar.
