Acts 27:44 YLT

⁴²  And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,

⁴³  but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first -- to get unto the land,

⁴⁴  and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
