Acts 27:42

---

← Acts 27:41	Acts 27:42 (KJV)	Acts 27:43 →
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.	And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.	But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast [themselves] first [into the sea], and get to land:
