Acts 27:31

New International Version

Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”

See the chapter Copy

Now then, let me advise you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.

All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.

In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow.

So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.

The rest were to get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.
