New Century Version

Some of the sailors wanted to leave the ship, and they lowered the lifeboat, pretending they were throwing more anchors from the front of the ship.

See the chapter Copy

When we went below a small island named Cauda, we were barely able to bring in the lifeboat.

On the fourteenth night we were still being carried around in the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors thought we were close to land,

The sailors were afraid that we would hit the rocks, so they threw four anchors into the water and prayed for daylight to come.

But Paul told the officer and the other soldiers, “If these men do not stay in the ship, your lives cannot be saved.”

So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
