Contextual Overview

²¹After they had gone a long time without food [because of seasickness and stress], Paul stood up before them and said, "Men, you should have followed my advice and should not have set sail from Crete, and brought on this damage and loss. ²²"But even now I urge you to keep up your courage and be in good spirits, because there will be no loss of life among you, but only loss of the ship. ²³"For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, ²⁴and said, 'Stop being afraid, Paul.

This island was Melita; and the fulfilment of this part of the prediction is related in Acts 28:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
