Context of Acts 27:24

22Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship. 23For last night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by me and said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. It is necessary for you to appear before Caesar. And indeed, God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’ 25So take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me. 26But we have to run aground on some island.”

Commentaries on Acts 27:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24God hath given thee all them that sail with thee - Two hundred and seventy-six souls saved for the sake of one man!

Most people bring themselves into trouble, because they do not know when they are well off; they come to harm and loss by aiming to mend their condition, often against advice.

Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, &c.--not meaning to reflect on them for the past, but to claim their confidence for what he was now to say:Read the comment
