21 And there being much fasting, then standing up in their midst, Paul said, Truly, O men, being obedient to me you ought not to have set sail from Crete, and to have come by this injury and loss. 22 And now I exhort you to be cheered, for there will be no casting away of soul from among you, only of the ship. 23 For tonight stood by me an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24 saying, Do not fear, Paul, You must stand before Caesar. And, behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you. 25 Therefore, be cheered, men, for I believe God, that it will be so according to the way it was spoken to me. 26 But we must fall on a certain island. 27 And when the fourteenth night came, we being carried about in the Adriatic Sea, toward the middle of the night the sailors supposed us to come near some country. 28 And sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and moving a little and sounding again, they found fifteen fathoms. 29 And fearing lest they should fall on rock places, and casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished day to come. 30 But the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and lowering the boat into the sea, pretending to be about to cast out anchors from the prow,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat,.... To sit down composedly, and eat meat cheerfully and freely:
for this is for your health; the Alexandrian copy reads, "for our health"; it was for the health of them all, that they might be better able to bear the shock and fatigue of the shipwreck, and be in better spirits, and in a better capacity to help themselves, and one another:
for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you; a proverbial phrase, expressing the utmost safety of their lives, and therefore might cheerfully eat their food, and rest themselves, and be satisfied. To dream of shaving the hair, portended shipwreck to sailors; nor was it lawful for any to pare his nails, or cut off his hair, but in a storm; to which custom, some think, the apostle here alludes w; see 1 Samuel 14:45.
