Acts 27:17KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 17 of 44
"Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven."
In context
15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let drive.
16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next they lightened the ship;
19And the third we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
