Context of Acts 27:24
22And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship. 23For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee. 25Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me. 26But we must be cast ashore on a certain 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!

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-29Verses 21-29 They did not hearken to the apostle when he warned them of their danger; yet if they acknowledge their folly, and repent of it, he will speak comfort and relief to them when in danger.

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
