Acts 27:41-44 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

41. And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.

42. And the soldiers' counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.

43. But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.

44. And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
