Acts 27 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Sailing
In the ancient Near East, people traveled by boat powered by the wind. During different seasons, it was impossible to travel because the seas were too rough or the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.
Trust
This chapter involves the concept of trust. Paul's trust of God was very great. In turn, he told the sailers and soldiers to trust that God would preserve them along with Paul. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust)
Bread
The author uses the imagery of bread in this chapter. Bread's significance can be traced back to the daily provision God provided to Israel in the desert for 40 years and the events of Passover. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/passover)
