Acts 27:42-44

Darby Translation

⁴² And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.

⁴³ But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;

⁴⁴ and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
