Context of Acts 27:10
8and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was [the] city of Lasaea. 9And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them, saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. 11But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul. 12And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.

But there is nothing that should prevent our believing also that he was guided to this conclusion by the inspiration of the Spirit of God. Compare Acts 27:23-24. Will be with hurt…Read the comment
