Contextual Overview

²¹ and our spirits droop with fasting: when Paul presented himself, and said, "well, my friends, it had been, if I could have prevail'd upon you, to have sav'd your selves all this perplexity and loss by staying at Crete. ²² yet now I advise you to discard your fears: your lives are all safe, though the vessel will be lost. ²³ for an angel of that God , whose minister I am, and whom I serve, this night appear'd to me, and said, Paul, be not afraid: ²⁴ you must be brought before Cesar: and upon your account, the whole company now with you, will God preserve. ²⁵ take courage then, my friends, for I have this confidence in God, that what has been told me, shall be effected, ²⁶ notwithstanding we must be shipwrack'd upon some island." ²⁷ It was the fourteenth night that we had been driving up and down in the Adriatick sea, when the ship's crew about midnight suspected they were making to land: ²⁸ they threw the line and sounded twenty fathom water: a little further they sounded again, and came to fifteen fathom: ²⁹ then for fear of striking upon the rocks, they dropt four anchors astern, and lay impatient for the day. ³⁰ but the crew under pretext of dropping their anchors to moor, had hoisted out the boat; designing to make off:

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.
