Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 27:9-26

Acts 27:9-Ezekiel : . To Malta.— The Fast of the great Day of Atonement fell on the 10 th of Tishri (Sept.– Oct.). The season for shipping ended November 11 , and opened again March 5 ; but voyages were counted dangerous after the middle of September. Paul speaks as an experienced traveller, and one who has been thrice shipwrecked ( 2 Corinthians 11:25). He is against setting sail again ( Acts 27:21). The centurion, who had authority to control the navigation since the corn ship was a... read more

Acts 27:27-: . Landing on Malta.—“ Adria” was not then what is now called the Adriatic, but was a general name for the sea between Malta, Italy, Greece, and Crete. After a fortnight’ s tossing on this sea there were signs that “ some land was approaching.” This took place at night when nothing could be seen; distant breakers probably were heard. The surmise was confirmed by the use of the lead, and lest she should go upon the rocks in the dark, the ship was anchored, but in such a way that... read more

The south wind being ordinarily most mild, and at that time not high, they sailed along the shore of Candia, not being afraid to be driven upon it. read more

There arose against it; Crete or Candia; so that they were in the greater danger, having a sea-shore. Called Euroclydon; this some will have to have been a whirlwind; but the word signifies only, the tempestuous east, or the north-east, which is a contrary wind unto any that would go from Crete to Italy. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 27:15

The ship was caught; being forced from Crete, and no longer at the command of the mariners, but in the sole power of the winds. And could not bear up into the wind; the ship could not keep her course, the winds being contrary, so that her prow or head (part whereof was called the eye of the ship, and on which its name was formerly, as now at the stern, inscribed) could not bear up according as their course did require; whence that expression, αντοφθαλμειν τω ανεμω, which is here used. Sic quo... read more

Clauda; called also Claudos, and by some Gaudos, and now Gozo, an island near unto Crete. We had much work to come by the boat; in this stress of weather they would take up the boat, lest it should have been staved or beat in pieces against the ship. read more

They used helps; not only using all instruments fit for their purpose, but all hands were employed too. Undergirding the ship, with cables, to keep the sides of the ship the closer and faster together. The quicksands: there were two quicksands especially famous in Africa, the one the greater, the other the lesser, called Syrtes, because these mountabes of sand under water did seem, as it were, to draw and suck up ships, they were so soon swallowed up by them. Strake sail; by the word here used,... read more

Casting out the merchandise or lading which was in it, that the ship, being so much lighter, might not so readily strike upon a rock, or be swallowed up of the quicksands, it drawing so much the less water. read more

All the ship’s furniture which it had either for ornament or defence, and not their ballast or lumber only: so willingly do men part with all things for their lives; which yet are but short, and, at best, mixed with care and sorrow, Job 14:1,Job 14:2. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 27:20

Neither sun nor stars in many days appeared; which shows the greatness of their misery, which had not the ordinary refreshments from the sight of the sun to relieve it. For what the sun does cheer, is one reason why our Saviour is called the Sun of righteousness, Malachi 4:2. All hope that we should be saved was then taken away; there remained no hope in the eye of reason, or reckoning upon second causes, or natural events. read more
