Acts 27:10 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 27:10

And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive
Not only by the tempestuous weather which they had met with, and still continued, and which they must expect to have, if they continued on their voyage; but by a spirit of prophecy, which he was endued with, by which he foresaw, and so foretold, as follows;

that this voyage will be with hurt, and with much damage not only of
the lading and ship, but also of our lives;
or of our persons, or bodies, that is, of the health of them; for certain it is that it was revealed to the apostle, that not one life should be lost; but yet through the shipwreck, what with the fright of it, and being in the water, much damage must accrue to their persons, as well as the ship and all its freight be lost.

Acts 27:10 In-Context

8 Sailing past it was hard. Then we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

9 We had lost much time, and it was now dangerous to sail, because it was already after the Day of Cleansing. So Paul warned them,

10 "Men, I can see there will be a lot of trouble on this trip. The ship, the cargo, and even our lives may be lost."

11 But the captain and the owner of the ship did not agree with Paul, and the officer believed what the captain and owner of the ship said.

12 Since that harbor was not a good place for the ship to stay for the winter, most of the men decided that the ship should leave. They hoped we could go to Phoenix and stay there for the winter. Phoenix, a city on the island of Crete, had a harbor which faced southwest and northwest.
