Acts 27:39-44 - The Shipwreck
39 And when it became day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which, they decided if possible, to drive the ship. 40 And having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time unfastening the bands of the rudders. And having hoisted up the foresail to the wind, they held firm for the shore. 41 And having chanced upon a place where two seas meet, they ran the ship aground. And of course, the bow having become stuck, it remained immovable, but the stern was coming apart by the force of the waves.
42 And a decision of the soldiers developed that they should kill the prisoners, lest any man, having swam away, might escape. 43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prevented them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, having first jumped out, to go to the land, 44 and the remaining, some on boards, and some on any of the things from the ship. And so it came to pass for all to be saved to the land.
