Acts 27:42-44

Wycliffe Bible

⁴² And counsel of the knights' was, to slay men that were in ward, lest any should escape, when he had swimmed out. [Soothly the counsel of the knights' was, to slay men in the keeping, lest any should escape, when he had swum out.]

⁴³ But the centurion would keep Paul, and forbade it to be done. And he commanded them that might swim, to go into the sea, and escape, and go out to the land. [Forsooth the centurion willing to keep Paul, forbade to be done. And he commanded them that might swim, to send them first into the sea, and escape, and go out to the land.]

⁴⁴ And they bare some others on boards, some on those things that were of the ship. And so it was done, that all men escaped to the land.^[a]
