but the centurion, ^(ba)wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should ^[w]jump overboard first and get to land,

and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that ^(bb)they all were brought safely to land.
