Chapter 27
29Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak. 30But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the ship’s boat into the sea, on the pretense that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow, 31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, 'Unless these men remain on the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved.' 32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it fall away.King James Version
Chapter 27
29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 30And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, 31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 27
29Then, fearing we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come. 30Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow. 31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved." 32Then the soldiers cut the ropes holding the skiff and let it drop away.New Living Translation
30Then the sailors tried to abandon the ship; they lowered the lifeboat as though they were going to put out anchors from the front of the ship.
31But Paul said to the commanding officer and the soldiers, 'You will all die unless the sailors stay aboard.'
32So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and let it drift away.
