Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 27:9-12

Acts 27:9-12. Now when much time was spent In making this little way, and the season of the year was so far advanced, that sailing was now dangerous On account of the tempestuous weather usual at that season: for the fast Of the seventh month, or anniversary expiation; was now past And consequently winter was coming on apace. It may be proper to observe, that the fast here spoken of was the day of atonement, which was ordered to be kept on the 10th day of the 7th month, called Tisri... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 27:1-44

From Caesarea to Rome (27:1-28:15)Festus arranged for a centurion and a unit of Roman soldiers to take Paul, along with a number of other prisoners, to Rome. Two Christians also went with Paul, his loyal friend Luke and a church leader from Thessalonica named Aristarchus (27:1-2; cf. 19:29; 20:4). They began the journey on a ship that took them as far as Myra in Asia Minor. There they changed to one of the huge grain ships that sailed between Alexandria and Italy. After several days they came... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 27:12

Acts 27:12. And because the haven, &c.— And that port not being commodious to winter in, most were of opinion to depart thence, and endeavour to reach Phenice, (a haven of Crete, which lies on the south side toward the western part of that island,) and pass the winter there. Heylin. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 27:12

12. Phenice—"Phenix," now called Lutro. which lieth toward the southwest and northwest—If this means that it was open to the west, it would certainly not be good anchorage! It is thought therefore to mean that a wind from that quarter would lead into it, or that it lay in an easterly direction from such a wind [SMITH]. :- seems to confirm this. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 27:1-15

4. Ministry on the way to Rome 27:1-28:15For a number of reasons Luke seems to have described this stage of the gospel expansion in detail. He evidently wanted to demonstrate God’s protection of Paul, to illustrate the increasingly Gentile nature of gospel expansion, and to document the sovereign Lord’s building of His church."Ever since the purpose of going to Rome had been planted in Paul’s mind by the Holy Spirit, his plans had been formulated with that goal in view (Acts 19:21). No warnings... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 27:11-12

The centurion had the final word. Grain ships of this kind were part of a fleet that was under the control of the Roman government even though private individuals owned the ships. [Note: Bruce, Commentary on . . ., p. 507.] The pilot (captain) and the owner (rather than captain) carried more influence with the centurion than Paul did. Fair Havens was suitable for wintering but not as desirable as Phoenix (modern Phineka, or possible Lutro [Note: Robertson, 3:462-63.] ), which stood about 45... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 27:1-44

The Voyage and ShipwreckActs 27:1 to Acts 28:16. The Journey to Rome.This narrative is the most detailed account of an ancient voyage which we possess, and is our principal source of knowledge of the art of navigation as practised by the ancients. St. Luke describes the voyage at length, because it exhibits his hero in a very favourable light. The details of the voyage are clearly authentic (see Intro.).1. Julius] a person otherwise unknown. The narrative reveals him as courteous and humane,... read more
