Acts 27:43 in Context — Acts 27
41 Mais ils rencontrèrent une langue de terre, où ils firent échouer le navire; et la proue, s’étant engagée, resta immobile, tandis que la poupe se brisait par la violence des vagues.
42 Les soldats furent d’avis de tuer les prisonniers, de peur que quelqu’un d’eux ne s’échappât à la nage.
43 Mais le centenier, qui voulait sauver Paul, les empêcha d’exécuter ce dessein. Il ordonna à ceux qui savaient nager de se jeter les premiers dans l’eau pour gagner la terre,
44 et aux autres de se mettre sur des planches ou sur des débris du navire. Et ainsi tous parvinrent à terre sains et saufs.
