Acts 27:41-44
41But striking a 1reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves.
42The soldiers’ plan was to 2kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape;
43but the centurion, 3wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should 4jump overboard first and get to land,
44and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that 5they all were brought safely to land.
