The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom. Context 42The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape; 43but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land, 44and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land. Links Acts 27:42 NIVActs 27:42 NLT Acts 27:42 ESV Acts 27:42 NASB Acts 27:42 KJV Acts 27:42 Commentaries Bible Hub |
