Atos 27:15 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 27:15

And when the ship was caught
By the wind, snatched up by it, and forcibly carried away:

and could not bear up into the wind;
and against it, or look it in the face, as the word signifies; could not ply to windward, the wind being so high and the sea so strong:

we let her drive;
about the sea, at pleasure, it being in vain to attempt to get her forward against the wind, or to direct her course.

Atos 27:15 In-Context

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.
16 Correndo a sota-vento de uma pequena ilha chamada Clauda, somente a custo pudemos segurar o batel,
17 o qual recolheram, usando então os meios disponíveis para cingir o navio; e, temendo que fossem lançados na Sirte, arriaram os aparelhos e se deixavam levar.
