Contextual Overview

²¹ When for a long time they had taken but little food, Paul, standing up among them, said, "Sirs, you ought to have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would then have escaped this suffering and loss. ²² But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only. ²³ For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship, ²⁴ and he said, "`Dismiss all fear, Paul, for you must stand before Caesar; and God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you.' ²⁵ "Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told. ²⁶ But we are to be stranded on a certain island." ²⁷ It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Sea of Adria, when, about midnight, the sailors suspected that land was close at hand. ²⁸ So they hove the lead and found twenty fathoms of water; and after a short time they hove again and found fifteen fathoms. ²⁹ Then for fear of possibly running on rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern and waited impatiently for daylight. ³⁰ The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow.

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.
