2 And G1161 entering G1910 into a ship G4143 of Adramyttium, G98 we launched, G321 meaning G3195 to sail G4126 by G2596 the coasts G5117 of Asia; G773 one Aristarchus, G708 a Macedonian G3110 of Thessalonica, G2331 being G5607 with G4862 us. G2254
And G2532 the whole G3650 city G4172 was filled G4130 with confusion: G4799 and G5037 having caught G4884 Gaius G1050 and G2532 Aristarchus, G708 men of Macedonia, G3110 Paul's G3972 companions in travel, G4898 they rushed G3729 with one accord G3661 into G1519 the theatre. G2302
And G1161 it came to pass, G1096 that after G5613 we G2248 were gotten G645 from G575 them, G846 and had launched, G321 we came G2064 with a straight course G2113 unto G1519 Coos, G2972 and G1161 the day following G1836 unto G1519 Rhodes, G4499 and from thence G2547 unto G1519 Patara: G3959 And G2532 finding G2147 a ship G4143 sailing over G1276 unto G1519 Phenicia, G5403 we went aboard, G1910 and set forth. G321 Now G1161 when we had discovered G398 Cyprus, G2954 G2532 we left G2641 it G846 on the left hand, G2176 and sailed G4126 into G1519 Syria, G4947 and G2532 landed G2609 at G1519 Tyre: G5184 for G1063 there G1566 the ship G4143 was G2258 to unlade G670 her burden. G1117
Aristarchus G708 my G3450 fellowprisoner G4869 saluteth G782 you, G5209 and G2532 Marcus, G3138 sister's son G431 to Barnabas, G921 (touching G4012 whom G3739 ye received G2983 commandments: G1785 if G1437 he come G2064 unto G4314 you, G5209 receive G1209 him;) G846
Who G3739 also G2532 honoured G5092 us G2248 with many G4183 honours; G5091 and G2532 when we departed, G321 they laded G2007 us with such things as G4314 were necessary. G5532
And G1161 the barbarous people G915 shewed G3930 us G2254 no G3756 little G5177 kindness: G5363 for G1063 they kindled G381 a fire, G4443 and received G4355 us G2248 every one, G3956 because G1223 of the present G2186 rain, G5205 and G2532 because G1223 of the cold. G5592
And G1161 when G3753 we G2248 had G1096 accomplished G1822 those days, G2250 we departed G1831 and went our way; G4198 and they all G3956 brought G4311 us G2248 on our way, G4311 with G4862 wives G1135 and G2532 children, G5043 till G2193 we were out of G1854 the city: G4172 and G2532 we kneeled down G5087 G1119 on G1909 the shore, G123 and prayed. G4336
Now G2532 it came to pass G1096 on G1722 a certain G3391 day, G2250 that G2532 he G846 went G1684 into G1519 a ship G4143 with G2532 his G846 disciples: G3101 and G2532 he said G2036 unto G4314 them, G846 Let us go over G1330 unto G1519 the other side G4008 of the lake. G3041 And G2532 they launched forth. G321
And G2547 we sailed G636 thence, G2547 and came G2658 the next G1966 day over against G481 Chios; G5508 and G1161 the next G2087 day we arrived G3846 at G1519 Samos, G4544 and G2532 tarried G3306 at G1722 Trogyllium; G5175 and the next G2192 day we came G2064 to G1519 Miletus. G3399 For G1063 Paul G3972 had determined G2919 to sail by G3896 Ephesus, G2181 because G3704 he G846 would G1096 not G3361 spend the time G5551 in G1722 Asia: G773 for G1063 he hasted, G4692 if G1487 it were G2258 possible G1415 for him, G846 to be G1096 at G1519 Jerusalem G2414 the day G2250 of Pentecost. G4005
And G1161 there accompanied G4902 him G846 into G891 Asia G773 Sopater G4986 of Berea; G961 and G1161 of the Thessalonians, G2331 Aristarchus G708 and G2532 Secundus; G4580 and G2532 Gaius G1050 of Derbe, G1190 and G2532 Timotheus; G5095 and G1161 of Asia, G774 Tychicus G5190 and G2532 Trophimus. G5161 These G3778 going before G4281 tarried G3306 for us G2248 at G1722 Troas. G5174
Many G2425 of them also G1161 which used G4238 curious arts G4021 brought G4851 their books G976 together, G4851 and burned them G2618 before G1799 all G3956 men: and G2532 they counted G4860 the price G5092 of them, G846 and G2532 found G2147 it fifty G4002 thousand G3461 pieces of silver. G694
And G2532 a vision G3705 appeared G3700 to Paul G3972 in G1223 the night; G3571 There stood G2258 G2476 a man G5100 G435 of Macedonia, G3110 and prayed G3870 him, G846 G2532 saying, G3004 Come over G1224 into G1519 Macedonia, G3109 and help G997 us. G2254 And G1161 after G5613 he had seen G1492 the vision, G3705 immediately G2112 we endeavoured G2212 to go G1831 into G1519 Macedonia, G3109 assuredly gathering G4822 that G3754 the Lord G2962 had called G4341 us G2248 for to preach the gospel G2097 unto them. G846 Therefore G3767 loosing G321 from G575 Troas, G5174 we came with a straight course G2113 to G1519 Samothracia, G4543 and G5037 the next G1966 day to G1519 Neapolis; G3496 And G5037 from thence G1564 to G1519 Philippi, G5375 which G3748 is G2076 the chief G4413 city G4172 of that part G3310 of Macedonia, G3109 and a colony: G2862 and G1161 we were G2258 in G1722 that G5026 city G4172 abiding G1304 certain G5100 days. G2250 And G5037 on the sabbath G4521 G2250 we went G1831 out of G1854 the city G4172 by G3844 a river side, G4215 where G3757 prayer G4335 was wont G3543 to be made; G1511 and G2532 we sat down, G2523 and spake G2980 unto the women G1135 which resorted G4905 thither.

Commentary on Acts 27 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 27
This whole chapter is taken up with an account of Paul's voyage towards Rome, when he was sent thither a prisoner by Festus the governor, upon his appeal to Caesar.
Act 27:1-11
It does not appear how long it was after Paul's conference with Agrippa that he was sent away for Rome, pursuant to his appeal to Caesar; but it is likely they took the first convenience they could hear of to do it; in the mean time Paul is in the midst of his friends at Caesarea-they comforts to him, and he a blessing to them. But here we are told,
Act 27:12-20
In these verses we have,
Act 27:21-44
We have here the issue of the distress of Paul and his fellow-travellers; they escaped with their lives and that was all, and that was for Paul's sake. We are here told (v. 37) what number there were on board-mariners, merchants, soldiers, prisoners, and other passengers, in all two hundred and seventy-six souls; this is taken notice of to make us the more concerned for them in reading the story, that they were such a considerable number, whose lives were now in the utmost jeopardy, and one Paul among them worth more than all the rest. We left them in despair, giving up themselves for gone. Whether they called every man on his God, as Jonah's mariners did, we are not told; it is well if this laudable practice in a storm was not gone out of fashion and made a jest of. However, Paul among these seamen was not, like Jonah among his, the cause of the storm, but the comforter in the storm, and as much a credit to the profession of an apostle as Jonah was a blemish to the character of a prophet. Now here we have,
