Acts 27:42-44 It was now the counsel of the soldiers to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴² It was now the counsel of the soldiers to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape. ⁴³ But the centurion desirous to save Paul prevented their design and ordered those who could swim to throw themselves out first and get to land; ⁴⁴ and the rest, some on planks, and some on pieces of the vessel: and so it came to pass that all got safe to land.
