21. Since none of us had eaten anything for a long time, Paul stood up and told the men:You should have listened to me! If you had stayed on in Crete, you would not have had this damage and loss.
22. But now I beg you to cheer up, because you will be safe. Only the ship will be lost.
23. I belong to God, and I worship him. Last night he sent an angel
24. to tell me, “Paul, don't be afraid! You will stand trial before the Emperor. And because of you, God will save the lives of everyone on the ship.”
25. Cheer up! I am sure that God will do exactly what he promised.
