Contextual Overview

21 But after long abstinence, Paul standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and so have avoided this injury and loss. 22 Yet now I exhort you to be of good courage; for there shall be no loss of any life among you, but of the ship only. 23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; 24 thou must be presented before Cesar: and lo God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25 Wherefore, Sirs, take courage: for I trust in God, that it shall be even as it hath been spoken to me. 26 But we must be cast on a certain island. 27 And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, the sailors suspected, that they drew nigh some land. 28 And sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little farther, sounding again, they found fifteen fathoms. 29 And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky ground, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 30 But when the sailors were attempting to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going to carry out anchors from the ship-head,

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.
