Context of Acts 27:24

22And now I advise you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost. 23For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve came to me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul! You must stand before Caesar, and God has graciously granted you the safety of all who are sailing with you.’ 25Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will be just as I have been told. 26But we must run aground on some island.”

• 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!

Most people bring themselves into trouble, because they do not know when they are well off; they come to harm and loss by aiming to mend their condition, often against advice.

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
