Contextual Overview

²¹ But, when they had been, long without food, then, Paul, standing in the midst of them, said - Ye ought, indeed, Sir! yielding to me, not to have sailed away from Crete, to get this damage and loss. … ²² And, now, I recommend you to be of good courage; for, loss of life, shall there be, none at all, from among you, - only the ship. ²³ For there stood by me this night, belonging unto the God whose I am, unto whom also I am doing divine service, a messenger, ²⁴ saying - Be not afraid, Paul! for, before Caesar, must thou needs stand. And lo! God hath granted to thee as a favour, all them who are sailing with thee. ²⁵ Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God - that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me. ²⁶ Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked. ²⁷ And, when, the fourteenth night, had come, and we were being driven to and fro in the Adriatic, about midnight, the sailors suspected that some country was, nearing, them; ²⁸ and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, - and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms. ²⁹ And, fearing lest haply, on rocky places, we should be wrecked, out of stern, cast they four anchors, - and began praying that day might dawn. ³⁰ But, when, the sailors, were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though out of the prow they had been about to reach anchors,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And we were in all in the ship,.... Reckoning the master and owner of the ship, and the centurion and the soldiers, and the apostle and his company, with whatsoever passengers there might be:

two hundred and threescore and sixteen souls; the Alexandrian copy reads, "two hundred seventy and five"; and the Ethiopic version, "two hundred and six". This account of the number is given to show, that the historian, who was one of them, had an exact knowledge of all in the ship; and this being recorded before the account of the shipwreck, may serve to make the truth of the relation the more to be believed that none of them perished, since their number was so precisely known; and makes it the more marvellous, that such a number of men should be saved, and in a shipwreck; and shows, that there must be a wonderful interposition of divine power to bring them all safe to land.
