Read in context

Acts 27:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.

21 After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.

22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.

23 For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me

24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
