THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES - Chapter 27 - Verse 44

Verse 44. And the rest. Those who could not swim.

They escaped all safe to land. According to the promise which was made to Paul, Ac 27:22. This was done by the special Providence of God. It was a remarkable instance of Divine interposition to save so many through so long-continued dangers; and it shows that God can defend in any perils, and can accomplish all his purposes. On the ocean or the land, we are safe in his keeping; and he can devise ways that shall fulfil all his purposes, and that can protect his people from danger.

{a} "so it came to pass" Ac 27:22; Ps 107:28-30.
