nkjv Acts:27:39-44
nkjv@Acts:27:39 @ When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.
nkjv@Acts:27:40 @ And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.
nkjv@Acts:27:41 @ But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
nkjv@Acts:27:42 @ And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
nkjv@Acts:27:43 @ But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,
nkjv@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.
