Paul warns sailors are about to desert

 

28:30 And the sailors seeking to the out of the sip and lowering the boat into the sea under pretence as out or the prow anchors intending to cast out 31 said Paul to the centurion and to the soldiers; Unless these remain in the ship ye to be saved cannot. 32 Then cut away the soldiers the ropes of the boat and let it to fall off. 33 And until day was about to come, besought Paul all to partake of food saying: the fourteenth Today is day waiting without food ye continued, nothing taking. 34 Wherefore I beseech you to partake of food; for this to your salvation is: of no one for of you from the head shall perish 35 And saying these things and taking bread he gave thanks to God before all and breaking began to eat. 36 And in good spirits becoming all also they took food.

37 Now we were the all souls in the ship two hundreds and seventy six. 38 And having been satisfied of with food they lightened the ship throwing the wheat into the sea. 39 And when day came the land they did not recognise but bay a certain they noticed having a shore, into which they were minded if they were able to drive the ship. 40 And the anchors having cast off they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the fastenings of the rudders and raising the foresail to the breeze they held the ship to the shore. 41 And coming upon to a place between two seas they drove the vessel and the while prow having run aground remained immovable,the yet stern was broken by the force.

Paul's 'internalised law' accepted

 

27:42  Now of the soldiers the mind was that the prisoners they should kill, lest anyone swimming out should escape; 43 but the centurion  being minded to save Paul forbade them the intention, and commanded the ones being able to swim casting overboard first onto the land to go out. 44 and the rest some on planks, others on some of the things from the ship.  And thus it came to pass all to be saved on the land.

 

28:l After being saved then we found out that Melita the island is called 2 And the foreigners showed not the ordinary kindness us; for having lit a fire they welcomed all us because of the rain coming on and because of the cold 3 collecting and Paul of sticks a quantity and putting them on the fire, a snake from the heat coming out fastened on the hand of him. 4 And when saw the foreigners hanging the beast from the hand of him, to one another they said: to be sure a murder

is this man, whom having been saved out of the sea justice to live did not allow. 5 He then shaking off the beast into the fire suffered no harm; 6 but they expected him to be about to swell or to fall down suddenly dead. but over much time they expecting and beholding nothing amiss to him happening, changing their minds they said him to be a god. 7 Now in the parts about place that were lands to the chief man of the island by name Fublius, who welcoming us days three friendly lodged on. 8 Now it happened the father of Publius is feverish attacks and dysentry suffering from to be lying down, to whom Paul entering and praying putting on the hands him cured him. 9 And this happening also the rest in the island having ailments came up and were healed, 10 who also with many honours honoured us and on our putting to sea placed on the things for the our needs.
