Acts 27:1
Summary for Acts 27:1-28:16: 27:1–28:16 a The vivid nautical language used throughout the account of Paul’s journey to Rome yields one of the best available accounts of an ancient sea voyage.• This is the last “we” section in Acts (see also 16:10-17 b; 20:5-15 c; 21:1-18 d). During the two years of Paul’s imprisonment, Luke had probably done much of the research for his Gospel throughout Judea and Galilee. Here, as a member of Paul’s sailing party, he was an eyewitness participant in the danger at sea. 27:1 e Julius is otherwise unknown.
• The Imperial Regiment (see study note on 10:1-8) served in Syria during this time.
