Acts Of The Apostles 27:42-44 Common English Bible (CEB)

42. The soldiers decided to kill the prisoners to keep them from swimming to shore and escaping.

43. However, the centurion wanted to save Paul, so he stopped them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and head for land.

44. He ordered the rest to grab hold of planks or debris from the ship. In this way, everyone reached land safely.
