Acts 27:42 in Context — Acts 27
40 E tendo levantado as âncoras, deixaram [-no] ir ao mar, soltando também as amarras dos lemes, e levantando a vela maior ao vento, foram de levando [-o] à praia.
41 Mas tendo caído em um lugar onde dois mares se encontram, encalharam ali o navio; e fixa a proa, ficou imóvel, mas a popa estava se destruindo com a força das ondas.
42 Então o conselho dos soldados foi de que matassem aos presos, para que nenhum [deles] fugisse a nado.
43 Mas o centurião, querendo salvar a Paulo, impediu a intenção deles; e mandou que aqueles que pudessem nadar fossem os primeiros a se lançassem [ao mar] e chegassem à terra [firme] .
44 E [depois] os demais, uns em tábuas, e outros em pedaços do navio. E assim aconteceu, que todos se salvaram em terra.
