Acts 27:33 VOICE

[33] We wait. Just before dawn, Paul again gathers everyone on the ship-all 276 of us. He urges everyone to eat and encourages us not to lose hope. Paul: Listen, men, we've all been under incredible stress for 14 days. You haven't eaten anything during this whole time. I urge you to take some food now because it will help you survive what we're about to face. And I want to assure you-not one of you will lose a single hair from your head. We're all going to make it-all 276 of us! Then Paul takes a loaf of bread and gives thanks to God in front of all of them. He breaks it, takes a piece, and begins to eat. A fresh surge of courage seems to fill their hearts as they also begin to eat.
