Context of Acts 27:25

23For this very night, there came to me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve. 24He said, ‘Do not fear, Paul. You must stand before Caesar; and indeed, God has granted you all who are sailing with you.’ So take heart, men, for I trust God that it will be exactly as I have been told. 26But we must run aground on some island.” 27Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to sense that they were nearing some land.
