38And when they* had eaten their fill of food, they lightened the ship by* throwing the wheato into the sea.
The Shipwreck
39Now when day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which they decided to run the ship ashore if they could. 40And slipping the anchors, they left them* in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropesp of the steering oars. And hoisting the foresail to the wind that was blowing, they held course for the beach. 41But falling into a place of crosscurrents,q they ran the ship aground. And the bow stuck fast and* stayed immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence.r 42Now the plan of the soldiers was that they would kill the prisoners lest any escape by* swimming away, 43but the centurion, because he* wanted to save Paul, prevented them from doing what they intended,s and gave orders that those who were able to swim should jump in first to get to the land, 44and then the rest, some of whom floated* on planks and some of whom on anything that was from the ship. And in this way all were brought safely to the land.
