What does Acts 27:32 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Acts 27:32
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat
With which it had been fastened to the sides of the ship, and by
which the mariners were letting it down, in order to get into it,
and go off:
and let her fall off;
from the sides of the ship into the sea, and so prevented the
shipmen quitting the ship; for now they gave more credit to Paul
than to them.
