Anchor

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli.

Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.

When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.

Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
