Hechos 27:13

Listen to Hechos 27:13

La tempestad

13 Cuando comenzó a soplar un viento suave del sur, creyeron que podían conseguir lo que querían, así que levaron anclas y navegaron junto a la costa de Creta.

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 centurión, en vez de hacerle caso, siguió el consejo del timonel y del dueño del barco.
12 Como el puerto no era adecuado para invernar, la mayoría decidió que debíamos seguir adelante, con la esperanza de llegar a Fenice, puerto de Creta que da al suroeste y al noroeste, y pasar allí el invierno.
13 Cuando comenzó a soplar un viento suave del sur, creyeron que podían conseguir lo que querían, así que levaron anclas y navegaron junto a la costa de Creta.
14 Poco después se nos vino encima un viento huracanado, llamado Nordeste, que venía desde la isla.
15 El barco quedó atrapado por la tempestad y no podía hacerle frente al viento, así que nos dejamos llevar a la deriva.
