But Paul told the officer and the other soldiers, “If these men do not stay in the ship, your lives cannot be saved.”
I strongly advise you to save yourself and your sons.
The Father gives me the people who are mine. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them.
But the captain and the owner of the ship did not agree with Paul, and the officer believed what the captain and owner of the ship said.
Some of the sailors wanted to leave the ship, and they lowered the lifeboat, pretending they were throwing more anchors from the front of the ship.
So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
The rest were to follow using wooden boards or pieces of the ship. And this is how all the people made it safely to land.
