‏ 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.
