Acts 27:39 in Context — Acts 27
37 Nous étions, dans le navire, deux cent soixante-seize personnes en tout.
38 Quand ils eurent mangé suffisamment, ils allégèrent le navire en jetant le blé à la mer.
39 Lorsque le jour fut venu, ils ne reconnurent point la terre; mais, ayant aperçu un golfe avec une plage, ils résolurent d’y pousser le navire, s’ils le pouvaient.
40 Ils délièrent les ancres pour les laisser aller dans la mer, et ils relâchèrent en même temps les attaches des gouvernails; puis ils mirent au vent la voile d’artimon, et se dirigèrent vers le rivage.
41 Mais ils rencontrèrent une langue de terre, où ils firent échouer le navire; et la proue, s’étant engagée, resta immobile, tandis que la poupe se brisait par la violence des vagues.
