33Until the day was about to dawn, Paul kept urging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense without eating, having taken nothing.”

34Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish.

35And after saying these things and taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and after breaking it, he began to eat.

36Then all of them became encouraged and also took food.

37There were 276 persons in the ship in all.
