Acts 28:1

1 After we had safely reached shore, ^{▼▼ Grk “We having been brought safely through” [to land] (same verb as 27:44). The word “shore” is implied, and the slight variations in translation from 27:44 have been made to avoid redundancy in English. The participle διασωθέντες (diasōthentes) has been taken temporally.} we learned that the island was called Malta. ^{▼▼ Malta is an island (known by the same name today) in the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily. The ship had traveled 625 mi (1,000 km) in the storm.} ^{▼▼ For location see Journey of Paul map 4-A3.}
