Acts 27:17 in Context — Acts 27
15 E tendo o navio sido tomado por ele, e não podendo navegar contra o vento, nós deixamos sermos levados [por ele] .
16 E correndo abaixo de uma pequena ilha, chamada Clauda, com dificuldade conseguimos manter o barquinho de reserva;
17 O qual, tendo sido levado para cima, usaram de suportes [para] reforçarem o navio; e temendo irem de encontro aos bancos de areia, eles baixaram as velas e [deixaram] ir à deriva.
18 E sendo muito afligidos pela tempestade, no [dia] seguinte jogaram a carga para fora [do navio] .
19 E no terceiro [dia] , com as nossas próprias mãos jogamos fora os instrumentos do navio.
