Atti 27:33 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 27:33

And while the day was coming on
Between midnight and break of day: Paul besought them all to take meat; to sit down and eat a meal together:

saying, this day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried;
or have been waiting for, or expecting; that is, as the Arabic version expresses it, a shipwreck; for fourteen days past, ever since the storm begun, they had expected nothing but shipwreck and death:

and continued fasting, having taken nothing:
not that they had neither ate nor drank all that while, for without a miracle they could never have lived so long without eating something; but the meaning is, they had not eaten anyone regular meal all that while, had only caught up a bit now and then, and ate it, and that but very little.

Atti 27:33 In-Context

31 Paolo disse al centurione ed ai soldati: Se costoro non restano nella nave, voi non potete scampare.
32 Allora i soldati tagliaron le funi della scialuppa, e la lasciaron cadere.
33 E mentre si aspettava che facesse giorno, Paolo esortava tutti a prender cibo, dicendo: Oggi son quattordici giorni che state aspettando, sempre digiuni, senza prender nulla.
34 Perciò, io v’esorto a prender cibo, perché questo contribuirà alla vostra salvezza; poiché non perirà neppure un capello del capo d’alcun di voi.
35 Detto questo, preso del pane, rese grazie a Dio, in presenza di tutti; poi, rottolo, cominciò a mangiare.
