Contextual Overview

²¹ And as no one had taken a meal of food, Paul now stood up in the midst of them, and said: If ye had given heed to me, O men, we should not have sailed from Crete, and we should have been exempt from this loss and peril. ²² And now, I counsel you to be without anxiety; for not a soul of you will be lost, but only the ship. ²³ For there appeared to me this night, the angel of that God whose I am, and whom I serve; ²⁴ and he said to me: Fear not, Paul; for thou art yet to stand before Caesar; and, lo, God hath made a gift to thee of all them that sail with thee. ²⁵ Therefore, men, be ye courageous; for I confide in God, that it will be as was told to me. ²⁶ Yet we are to be cast upon a certain island. ²⁷ And after the fourteen days of our roaming and tossing on the Adriatic sea, at midnight, the sailors conceived that they approached land. ²⁸ And they cast the lead, and found twenty fathoms. And again they advanced a little, and they found fifteen fathoms. ²⁹ And as we feared lest we should be caught in places where were rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern of the ship, and prayed for the morning. ³⁰ And the sailors sought to flee out of the ship. And from it they lowered down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going in it to make fast the ship to the land.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Howbeit, we must be cast upon a certain island. This circumstance is foretold, that when the whole affair should come to pass, it might be manifest that it was not a casual thing, a fortuitous event, a business of chance, but was predetermined by God, made known to the apostle, and predicted by him. This island was Melita; and the fulfilment of this part of the prediction is related in Acts 28:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Howbeit - Nevertheless.

Upon a certain island - Malta. See Acts 28:1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 27:26. We must be cast upon a certain island. — The angel which gave him this information did not tell him the name of the island. It turned out to be Melita, on which, by the violence of the storm, they were wrecked some days after.
