Contextual Overview

12 Moreover, since the harbor was not well suited to sitting out the winter, the majority reached the decision to sail on from there in the hope of reaching Phoenix, another harbor in Crete, and wintering there, where it is protected from the southwest and northwest winds. 13 When a gentle southerly breeze began to blow, they thought that they had their goal within grasp; so they raised the anchor and started coasting by Crete close to shore. 14 But before long there struck us from land a full gale from the northeast, the kind they call an Evrakilon. 15 The ship was caught up and unable to face the wind, so we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 As we passed into the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with strenuous effort to get control of the lifeboat. 17 They hoisted it aboard, then fastened cables tightly around the ship itself to reinforce it. Fearing they might run aground on the Syrtis sandbars, they lowered the topsails and thus continued drifting. 18 But because we were fighting such heavy weather, the next day they began to jettison non-essentials; 19 and the third day, they threw the ship's sailing equipment overboard with their own hands. 20 For many days neither the sun nor the stars appeared, while the storm continued to rage, until gradually all hope of survival vanished.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the third day,.... From the time this storm began, and this tempestuous weather held:

we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship; by which seems to be meant their naval stores and instruments, as sails, ropes, cables, anchors, c. and yet we afterwards read of their anchors and main sail: it may be rendered, "the furniture of the ship" and yet it cannot design the ship's provisions, at least all were not cast away; for afterwards mention is made of casting out the wheat into the sea: many versions render it, "the armament of the ship"; and the Ethiopic version adds, "and arms"; the soldiers' arms, and others which belonged to the ship, which were brought with them to defend themselves against an enemy: these, the historian says, "we cast out"; the Apostle Paul's company, Luke and others; but not without the leave and order of the centurion and governor of the ship: the Alexandrian copy, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version read, "they cast out": which seems most probable.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The tackling of the ship - The anchors, sails, cables, baggage, etc. That is, everything that was not indispensable to its preservation, for it seems still Acts 27:29 that they retained some of their anchors on board.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 27:19. The tackling of the ship. — την σκευην; All supernumerary anchors, cables, baggage, &c.
