Chapter 27, verses 42-44
42
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43
But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land
44
and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
