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.

13 Começando a soprar suavemente o vento sul, eles pensaram que haviam obtido o que desejavam; por isso levantaram âncoras e foram navegando ao longo da costa de Creta.
14 Pouco tempo depois, desencadeou-se da ilha um vento muito forte, chamado Nordeste.
15 O navio foi arrastado pela tempestade, sem poder resistir ao vento; assim, cessamos as manobras e ficamos à deriva.
16 Passando ao sul de uma pequena ilha chamada Clauda, foi com dificuldade que conseguimos recolher o barco salva-vidas.
17 Levantando-o, lançaram mão de todos os meios para reforçar o navio com cordas; e, temendo que ele encalhasse nos bancos de areia de Sirte, baixaram as velas e deixaram o navio à deriva.
