Contextual Overview

¹² And, because that harbor was not commodious for wintering in, many of us were desirous to sail from it, and if possible, to reach and to winter in a certain harbor of Crete, which was called Phenice, and which opened towards the south. ¹³ And when the south wind breezed up, and they hoped to arrive as they desired, we began to sail around Crete. ¹⁴ And shortly after, a tempest of wind arose upon us, called Typhonic Euroclydon. ¹⁵ And the ship was whirled about by the wind, and could not keep head to it; and we resigned [fn] to its power. ¹⁶ And when we had passed a certain island, called Cyra, we could hardly retain the boat. ¹⁷ And after hoisting it [fn] , we girded the ship around [fn] , and made it strong. And, because we were afraid of falling upon a precipice of the sea, we pulled own the sail; and so we drifted. ¹⁸ And as the storm raged violently upon us, we the next day threw goods into the sea. ¹⁹ And on the third day, with our own hands, we threw away the tackling of the ship. ²⁰ And as the storm held on for many days, and as no sun was visible, nor moon, nor stars, all hope of our surviving was wholly cut off.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the third day,.... From the time this storm began, and this tempestuous weather held:

we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship; by which seems to be meant their naval stores and instruments, as sails, ropes, cables, anchors, c. and yet we afterwards read of their anchors and main sail: it may be rendered, "the furniture of the ship" and yet it cannot design the ship's provisions, at least all were not cast away; for afterwards mention is made of casting out the wheat into the sea: many versions render it, "the armament of the ship"; and the Ethiopic version adds, "and arms"; the soldiers' arms, and others which belonged to the ship, which were brought with them to defend themselves against an enemy: these, the historian says, "we cast out"; the Apostle Paul's company, Luke and others; but not without the leave and order of the centurion and governor of the ship: the Alexandrian copy, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version read, "they cast out": which seems most probable.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The tackling of the ship - The anchors, sails, cables, baggage, etc. That is, everything that was not indispensable to its preservation, for it seems still Acts 27:29 that they retained some of their anchors on board.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 27:19. The tackling of the ship. — την σκευην; All supernumerary anchors, cables, baggage, &c.
