Contextual Overview

21 But after long abstinence, Paul stoode foorth in the middes of them, and sayde: Syrs, ye shoulde haue harkened to me, & not to haue loosed fro Candie, neither to haue brought vnto vs this harme and losse. 22 And nowe I exhort you to be of good chere: For there shalbe no losse of any mans lyfe among you, but of the shippe. 23 For there stoode by me this nyght, the Angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serue, 24 Saying: Feare not Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar. And lo, God hath geuen thee all them that sayle with thee. 25 Wherfore syrs be of good cheare: for I beleue God, that it shalbe euen as it was tolde me. 26 Howbeit, we must be cast into a certayne Ilande. 27 But when the fourtenth nyght was come, as we were saylyng in Adria, about mydnyght the shypmen deemed that there appeared some countrey vnto them: 28 And sounded, and founde it twentie faddomes. And when they had gone a litle further, they sounded agayne, and founde it fyfteene faddomes. 29 Then fearyng lest they shoulde haue fallen on some rocke, they caste foure anckers out of the sterne, and wisshed for the day. 30 And as the shypmen were about to flee out of the shippe, when they had let downe the boate into the sea, vnder a colour, as though they woulde haue cast anckers out of the foreshippe,

Cross-References

Genesis 27:18
When he came to his father, he sayde: my father? And he aunswered, here am I: who art thou, my sonne?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat,.... With which it had been fastened to the sides of the ship, and by which the mariners were letting it down, in order to get into it, and go off:

and let her fall off; from the sides of the ship into the sea, and so prevented the shipmen quitting the ship; for now they gave more credit to Paul than to them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Cut off the ropes ... - It is evident that the mariners had not yet got on board the boat. They had let it down into the sea Acts 27:30, and were about to go on board. By thus cutting the ropes which fastened the boat to the ship, and letting it go, all possibility of their fleeing from the ship was taken away, and they were compelled to remain on board.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. The soldiers cut off the ropes — These were probably the only persons who dared to have opposed the will of the sailors: this very circumstance is an additional proof of the accuracy of St. Luke.
