Acts 27:41-44
41But they struck a 1reef where two seas met and ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck firmly and remained immovable, while the stern started to break up due to 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 accomplishing their intention, and commanded that those who could swim were to 4jump overboard first and get to land,
44and the rest were to follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that 5they all were brought safely to land.
