Acts 27:41-44

41But they encountered a patch of crosscurrents and ran the ship aground; the bow stuck fast and could not be moved, but the stern was being broken up by the force of the waves.

42Now the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners so that none of them would escape by swimming away.

43But the centurion, wanting to save Paul’s life, prevented them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land,

44and the rest were to follow, some on planks and some on pieces of the ship. And in this way all were brought safely to land.
