Context of Acts 27:24

22Now 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. The 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.” 25Because of the angel's message, I say to you, “Be brave, my friends!” I trust God. I know that everything will happen in the way that the angel told me. 26But the wind will blow the ship so that we hit an 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! This was a strong proof of God's approbation of Paul; and must at least have shown to Julius the centurion that his prisoner was an injured and innocent man.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24Fear not, Paul - Do not be alarmed with the danger of the loss of life. Thou must be brought … - And therefore thy life will be spared. God hath given thee all … - That is, they shall all be preserved with thee. None of their lives shall be lost. This does not mean that they would be converted, but that their lives would be preserved.

• 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.
