Acts 27:40-42

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴⁰ And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea and loosed the rudder bands and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind and made toward shore.

⁴¹ But falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

⁴² And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out and escape.
