Acts 27:30

Τῶν δὲ ναυτῶν ζητούντων φυγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου, καὶ χαλασάντων τὴν σκάφην εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, προφάσει ὡς ἐκ πρῴρας μελλόντων ἀγκύρας ἐκτείνειν,
Tōn de naytōn zētoyntōn phygein ek toy ploioy, kai chalasantōn tēn skaphēn eis tēn thalassan, prophasei ōs ek prōras mellontōn agkyras ekteinein,
King James Version (KJV)

And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

Modern English

In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow.
