Acts 27:39-44 - The Shipwreck
39 When daylight came they could not recognize the coast, but they saw a bay with a beach and determined to run the ship ashore there if possible. 40 So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time they undid the lashings of the steering oars, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. 41 But they struck a shoal and ran the ship aground. The bow struck and could not be moved, while the stern began to break up under the strain.
42 The soldiers proposed to kill the prisoners, for fear some of them might swim ashore and escape, 43 but the officer wanted to save Paul, and so he prevented them from doing this, and ordered all who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest to follow on planks or other pieces of wreckage. So they all got safely to land.
