Acts 27:32 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 27:32

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat
With which it had been fastened to the sides of the ship, and by which the mariners were letting it down, in order to get into it, and go off:

and let her fall off;
from the sides of the ship into the sea, and so prevented the shipmen quitting the ship; for now they gave more credit to Paul than to them.

Acts 27:32 In-Context

30 nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi cum misissent scapham in mare sub obtentu quasi a prora inciperent anchoras extendere

31 dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus nisi hii in navi manserint vos salvi fieri non potestis

32 tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae et passi sunt eam excidere

33 et cum lux inciperet fieri rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum dicens quartadecima hodie die expectantes ieiuni permanetis nihil accipientes

34 propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit
