ACTS 27:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.”
On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands. - Desperation intensifies: the crew now jettisons the ship's 'tackle' (skeuē, skeuē-'equipment, apparatus,' including sails, rigging). 'With their own hands' (autoxeires, autoxeires-'with their own hands') emphasizes their loss of hope. When sailors begin destroying their ship's working equipment, survival seems impossible.
