← Acts 27:42	Acts 27:43 (KJV)	Acts 27:44 →
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:	And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
