Acts 27:37-44
37 And all of us in the ship were 276 apersons. 38 And when they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by athrowing out the wheat into the sea.
The Shipwreck
39 Now when day came, athey could not recognize the land; but they were noticing a bay with a beach, and they were resolving to drive the ship onto it if they could. 40 And casting off athe anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders. And hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach. 41 But striking a reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves. 42 Now the soldiers’ plan was to akill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape; 43 but the centurion, awanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that athey all were brought safely to land.
