Acts 27:28-30

Christian Standard Bible

²⁸ They took soundings and found it to be a hundred twenty feet^[a] deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be ninety feet^[b] deep. ²⁹ Then, fearing we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come. ³⁰ Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow.
