The Passengers are Shipwrecked on Malta
Pastor Scott Brenner Acts 27:39-44
[27:39] When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.
[27:40] And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.
[27:41] But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
[27:42] And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
[27:43] But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,
[27:44] and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.
