使徒行傳 27:44 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 27:44

And the rest - Those who could not swim.They escaped all safe to land - According to the promise which was made to Paul, Acts 27:22. This was done by the special providence of God. It was a remarkable instance of divine interposition to save so many through so long-continued dangers; and it shows that God can defend in any perils, and can accomplish all his purposes. On the ocean or the land we are safe in his keeping, and he can devise ways that shall fulfill all his purposes, and that can... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 27:42-44

Acts 27:42-44. And In this critical juncture, as there were several prisoners on board, who were to be conveyed in custody to Rome; the soldiers’ counsel was to kill them A counsel most unjust, ungrateful, and cruel; lest any of them should swim out and escape Out of their hands; of which they were unwilling to run the hazard, as they knew how severe the Roman law was in such cases, where there was any room to suspect the guards of connivance or negligence. But the centurion, willing ... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 27:44

And the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.And on other things from the ship ... Bruce thought that these words "might conceivably mean `and some on some of the (people) from' the ship."[23]The journey to Rome was thus interrupted by a disastrous shipwreck, Paul's fourth; but Luke would at once (in the next chapter) recount the resumption of the trip, reporting what happened during the delay on the island of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 27:44

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 27:42-44

The soldiers would have had to pay with their lives if their prisoners escaped (cf. Acts 12:19; Acts 16:27). The centurion was willing to take responsibility for the prisoners’ safety to spare Paul’s life. This unusual concern for the apostle raises the unanswerable question of whether this man may have become a Christian on this trip. God kept His promise to keep Paul and his fellow travelers safe (cf. Acts 27:24).A British yachtsman and scholar who was familiar with the parts of the... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 27:44

(44) And the rest, some on boards . . .—These were probably planks from the decks. The words “broken pieces are not in the Greek, but fairly express its force. Literally, on some of the things from the ship. These might, it is obvious, have been pieces of timber from the bulwarks, loose spars, tables, stools, and the like. read more
