Acts 27:40-42
1599 Geneva Bible
40 So when they had taken up the anchors, they committed the ship unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoisted up the main sail to the wind, and drew to the shore.
41 And when they fell into a place, where [a]two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stuck fast, and could not be moved, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 [b]Then the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them, when he had swam out, should flee away.
