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

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.
