Acts 27:8 — Meaning and Application

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; {Crete: or, Candy}

And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city {of} Lasea.

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished {them}, {the fast: the fast was on the tenth day of the seventh month}

And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. {hurt: or, injury}
