Acts 27:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 27:17

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.

17 When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the¹ Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.

18 And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.

19 On the third day ^awe threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands.
