30Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
31But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
— Acts 27:30-32
