Acts of the Apostles

While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for there will not a hair perish from the head of any of you."

When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.

Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
