Context of Acts 27:10

8With difficulty we sailed along the coast of Crete and came to a place called Fair Havens that was near the town of Lasea. 9Since considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast was already over, Paul advised them, “Men, I can see the voyage is going to end in disaster and great loss not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” 11But the centurion was more convinced by the captain and the ship’s owner than by what Paul said. 12Because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there. They hoped that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Sirs - Greek: Men. I perceive - It is not certain that Paul understood this by direct inspiration. He might have perceived it from his own knowledge of the danger of navigation at the autumnal equinox, and from what he saw of the ship as unsuited to a dangerous navigation. 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
