Acts 27:42 in Context — Acts 27
40 Cortando pues las anclas, las dejaron en la mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al viento, íbanse á la orilla.
41 Mas dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa, hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abría con la fuerza de la mar.
42 Entonces el acuerdo de los soldados era que matasen los presos, porque ninguno se fugase nadando.
43 Mas el centurión, queriendo salvar á Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudiesen nadar, se echasen los primeros, y saliesen á tierra;
44 Y los demás, parte en tablas, parte en cosas de la nave. Y así aconteció que todos se salvaron [saliendo] á tierra.
