Acts 27:40-42
English Standard Version
40 So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach. 41 But striking a reef,[a] (A)they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf. 42 (B)The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape.
