Context of Acts 27:22

20For many days, we did not see the sun or any stars. The storm continued to blow strongly. So then we thought, ‘It is not possible for us to remain alive.’ 21The men on the ship had not eaten any food for a long time. So Paul stood in front of them and he said, ‘Men, you should have listened to me! We should not have sailed away from Crete. If we had not left there, the ship and everything on it would still be safe. Now I ask you, please be brave. The storm will completely destroy the ship, but not one of you will die. 23Last night one of God's angels spoke to me. I am a servant of God and I belong to him. He sent his angel to come to me. 24The angel said, “Paul, do not be afraid. You must go to Rome and Caesar will judge you there. Because of you, God will be kind to all the people on the ship with you. None of them will die.”
