Atos 27:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 27:13

And when the south wind blew softly
Or moderately, which was a good wind for them:

supposing that they, had obtained their purpose;
that things would succeed according to their wish, and favour their design:

loosing thence;
from the Fair Havens; the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions render it, "loosing from Assos"; which could not be Assos of Troas, mentioned in ( Acts 20:13 ) which was many miles from hence; rather Asum, a town in Crete, of which Pliny F18 makes mention, though, according to him, it seems to be an inland town; wherefore it is best to take the word (asson) , to be an adverb, and render it "thence", as we do; or join it with the next word, and render it,

they came near, or they sailed close by Crete;
along the shore, the wind favouring them, that they were in no danger of being dashed upon it, it being a soft gentle wind.

Atos 27:13 In-Context

11 Mas o centurião dava mais crédito ao piloto e ao dono do navio do que �s coisas que Paulo dizia.
12 E não sendo o porto muito próprio para invernar, os mais deles foram de parecer que daí se fizessem ao mar para ver se de algum modo podiam chegar a Fênice, um porto de Creta que olha para o nordeste e para o sueste, para ali invernar.
13 Soprando brandamente o vento sul, e supondo eles terem alcançado o que desejavam, levantaram ferro e iam costeando Creta bem de perto.
14 Mas não muito depois desencadeou-se do lado da ilha um tufão de vento chamado euro-aquilão;
15 e, sendo arrebatado o navio e não podendo navegar contra o vento, cedemos � sua força e nos deixávamos levar.
