‏ Acts 27:29

27-29. when the fourteenth night was come--from the time they left Fair Havens.

as we were driven--drifting

up and down in Adria--the Adriatic, that sea which lies between Greece and Italy.

about midnight the shipmen deemed--no doubt from the peculiar sound of the breakers.

that they drew near some country--"that some land was approaching them." This nautical language gives a graphic character to the narrative.
