The soldiers wanted to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim off and escape. I stopped them. I wanted to save Paul. Those who could swim jumped first. The rest held on to planks and pieces of the ship. Every single one of us reached land.

Centurion of the Imperial Regiment. Ordered to take a group of prisoners to Rome, including one called Paul. I treated him well. It turned out I should have listened to him.

He’s appealed to Caesar. So to Caesar he’ll go.I heard him at Fair Havens. I went with the pilot and the owner.
I can see where this voyage is heading, and it’s disaster. We’ll lose the cargo and the ship, and our own lives as well.Nobody touches the prisoners. Anyone who can swim, jump now and get to land. Everyone else, follow on planks. Bits of the ship. Anything that floats.
