Acts 27:41-43

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴¹ And having fallen into a place where two seas met, they thrust in the ship. And the bow stuck fast, and could not be moved. But the stern was broken with the violence of the waves.

⁴² Then the soldiers planned to kill the prisoners, so that none of them could swim away and escape.

⁴³ But the Centurion (wanting to save Paul) stopped them from carrying out this plan, and commanded that those who could swim should cast themselves into the sea first, and get to land
