There the army officer found a ship from the city of Alexandria that was going to Italy. So he put us on it.

But the captain and the owner of the ship did not agree with Paul. So the army officer accepted what they said instead of believing Paul.

But Paul told the army officer and the other soldiers, “If these men do not stay in the ship, you will lose all hope of survival.”

But Julius the army officer wanted to let Paul live. So he did not allow the soldiers to kill the prisoners. He told the people who could swim to jump into the water and swim to land.

A soldier wants to please his commanding officer, so he does not spend any time on activities that are not a part of his duty.
