Acts 27:42-44

Worsley(i) 42 And the counsel of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, least any of them should swim out and escape. 43 But the centurion, desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and ordered those that could swim to throw themselves out first, and get off to land: 44 and the rest, some on planks, and others on some other things out of the ship. And so it came to pass that they all got safe to land.
