Acts 27:29-30

At the close of ver. Acts 27:29 several Western witnesses (it^gig vg^mss) add ut sciremus an salvi esse possimus (possemus vg^mss) (“that we might know whether we could be saved”), a clause that Blass, following Hilgenfeld, reconstructs in Greek, tou/ eivde,nai eiv swqh/nai duna,meqa. At the close of ver. Acts 27:30 the same authorities add ut tutius navis staret (“so that the ship might ride more safely”), a clause that A. C. Clark, following the Greek reconstruction of Hilgenfeld and Blass, introduces into his text, tou/ avsfale,steron to. ploi/on e`sta,nai.
