Acts 27:28-30

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁸ They took a sounding and found it to be 120 feet^[a] deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be 90 feet^[b] 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.

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.
