This phrase highlights his role as a spiritual leader, even in captivity. The context is a warning against continuing the journey due to impending danger. Historically, sea voyages during this time were perilous, especially in the Mediterranean during the stormy season. Paul's foresight is reminiscent of Old Testament prophets who warned of impending doom, such as Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/38-17.htm">Jeremiah 38:17-18</a>). This also reflects the wisdom given by God to His servants, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/22-3.htm">Proverbs 22:3</a>, where the prudent see danger and take refuge.not only to ship and cargo The mention of "ship and cargo" underscores the economic and material concerns of the voyage. Ships in the ancient world were vital for trade and transport, and losing a ship meant significant financial loss. This reflects the broader biblical theme of the transient nature of material wealth, as seen in <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-21</a>, where Jesus teaches about storing treasures in heaven rather than on earth. The cargo likely included grain, a staple of Roman trade, emphasizing the potential impact on both the ship's owners and the broader economy.but to our own lives as well Paul's warning extends beyond material loss to the potential loss of life, highlighting the gravity of the situation. This phrase emphasizes the value of human life, a consistent biblical theme. In the cultural context, life was often at risk during sea travel, and Paul's concern for the crew and passengers reflects the Christian ethic of valuing and preserving life. This echoes the biblical principle found in <a href="/genesis/9-5.htm">Genesis 9:5-6</a>, where God establishes the sanctity of human life. Additionally, it foreshadows the eventual divine intervention that spares the lives of all aboard, demonstrating God's sovereignty and care, as seen later in <a href="/acts/27-22.htm">Acts 27:22-24</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a> The apostle who is speaking in this verse.

St. Paul had had, it will be remembered, the experience of three shipwrecks (<a href="/2_corinthians/11-25.htm" title="Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;">2Corinthians 11:25</a>), and the Epistle to Titus, though probably written later, shows an acquaintance with Crete which suggests that he may have had some knowledge even of the very harbour in which they had found refuge. His advice accordingly was to remain where they were, in comparative safety, in spite of the drawbacks referred to in <a href="/acts/27-12.htm" title="And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart there also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.">Acts 27:12</a>. The word for "hurt," which properly means "outrage," is used here in the sense of a violent calamity.Not only of the lading.--The cargo probably consisted chiefly of corn coming from Alexandria to Rome. (Comp. Notes on <a href="/acts/27-18.htm" title="And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;">Acts 27:18</a>; <a href="/acts/27-38.htm" title="And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.">Acts 27:38</a>.)But also of our lives.--No lives were actually lost (<a href="/acts/27-44.htm" title="And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.">Acts 27:44</a>), but the Apostle speaks now, as above, from the stand-point of reasonable opinion. When his counsel was rejected he gave himself to prayer, and to that prayer (<a href="/acts/27-24.htm" title="Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, see, God has given you all them that sail with you.">Acts 27:24</a>) he attributes the preservation of his companions not less than his own. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/27.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - The, for this, A.V.; injury for hurt, A.V.; loss for damage, A.V.; the ship for ship, A.V. Sirs, I perceive; etc. St. Paul's opinion and reasons are evidently not fully given; only the result, that he strongly advised against the course to which they were inclined, and foretold disaster as likely to ensue from it. I perceive (θεωρῷ), as <a href="/john/4-19.htm">John 4:19</a>; <a href="/john/12-19.htm">John 12:19</a>; <a href="/acts/17-22.htm">Acts 17:22</a>. In all these places something actually seen or heard leads to the inference or conclusion stated. So here the angry state of the weather and of the sea - perhaps they had walked as far as Cape Matala, and seen the rough waves - convinced him of the rashness of the enterprise contemplated. Injury (ὕβρεως, and at ver. 21); literally, violence, rough usage - properly of persons to persons (as <a href="/2_corinthians/12-10.htm">2 Corinthians 12:10</a>), but metaphorically here transferred to inanimate objects. Compare the use of ὑβρίζω (<a href="/matthew/22-6.htm">Matthew 22:6</a>; <a href="/luke/18-32.htm">Luke 18:32</a>; <a href="/acts/14-5.htm">Acts 14:5</a>; <a href="/1_thessalonians/2-2.htm">1 Thessalonians 2:2</a>), and the phrases ναυσίστονον ὕβριν (Pindar), θαλάττης ὕβριν (Anthol.), ὀμβρῶν ὕβρις (Josephus), quoted in Kninoel and Meyer. Meyer's explanation of ὕβρις, as meaning "presumption" or "temerity" on the part of the navigators, is quite inadmissible, especially in view of ver. 21. Also of our lives. Observe the thorough honesty of the historian who thus records the words of the apostle, though they were not justified by the event (vers. 22, 24). <a href="/commentaries/acts/27-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>“Men, Ἄνδρες (Andres) Noun - Vocative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_435.htm">Strong's 435: </a> A male human being; a man, husband.
