Acts 27:27-29
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea,[a] and in the middle of the night the sailors thought they were approaching land.[b] 28 They took a sounding and found it to be 120 feet[c] deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be 90 feet[d] deep. 29 Then, fearing we might run aground in some rocky place, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come.
