Hechos 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.

Hechos 27:13 In-Context

11 Pero el centuri贸n se persuadi贸 m谩s por lo dicho por el piloto y el capit谩n del barco, que por lo que Pablo dec铆a.
12 Y como el puerto no era adecuado para invernar, la mayor铆a tom贸 la decisi贸n de hacerse a la mar desde all铆, por si les era posible arribar a Fenice, un puerto de Creta que mira hacia el nordeste y el sudeste, y pasar el invierno all铆.
13 Cuando comenz贸 a soplar un moderado viento del sur, creyendo que hab铆an logrado su prop贸sito, levaron anclas y navegaban costeando a Creta.
14 Pero no mucho despu茅s, desde tierra comenz贸 a soplar un viento huracanado que se llama Euroclid贸n ,
15 y siendo azotada la nave, y no pudiendo hacer frente al viento nos abandonamos a 茅l y nos dejamos llevar a la deriva.
