And being all made of better cheer, they also took meat. And we were in all in the being filled with meat, they lighted the ship, day was come, they knew not the land: but they spied a certain creek that had a shore, into the which they minded, if they could, to cast a land the ship.

And when we were fallen into a place between two seas, they gravelled the ship: and the forepart truly sticking fast remained unmovable: but the hinder part was broken by the violence of the sea. 42 And the counsel of the soldiers was, that they should kill the prisoners : lest any swimming out, might run away. 43 But the Centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done: and he commanded them that could swim, to cast out themand the rest, some they carried on boards, and some upon those things that were of the ship.
