Acts 27:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 27:13

11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.

12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

In the Tempest

13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.

14 But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called¹ Euroclydon.

15 So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her¹ drive.

16 And running under the shelter of an island called¹ Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.
