Acts 27:30 in Context — Acts 27
28 Ayant jeté la sonde, ils trouvèrent vingt brasses; un peu plus loin, ils la jetèrent de nouveau, et trouvèrent quinze brasses.
29 Dans la crainte de heurter contre des écueils, ils jetèrent quatre ancres de la poupe, et attendirent le jour avec impatience.
30 Mais, comme les matelots cherchaient à s’échapper du navire, et mettaient la chaloupe à la mer sous prétexte de jeter les ancres de la proue,
31 Paul dit au centenier et aux soldats: Si ces hommes ne restent pas dans le navire, vous ne pouvez être sauvés.
32 Alors les soldats coupèrent les cordes de la chaloupe, et la laissèrent tomber.
