Acts 27:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 27:23

21 But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.

22 And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

23 ^aFor there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and ^bwhom I serve,

24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

25 Therefore take heart, men, ^afor I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.

26 However, ^awe must run aground on a certain island.”
