Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. And as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship, and had let down the {ship's} boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow, Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these stay in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
