Commentary on Acts 27:22

Theological / Devotional

Be of good cheer. Or, “be of good courage,” “take heart.” In due time all would be well. Contrast Paul’s words of courage with their loss of “all hope” (v. 20). Compare John 16:33; Acts 23:11. Paul’s attitude and tone of voice must have been in keeping with his cheering admonition. So it should be with the Christian bringing the good news of salvation through Christ Jesus to a troubled world. Any man’s life. Earlier Paul had personally anticipated that lives might be lost (v. 10), but God revealed that there was to be no loss of life. Of the ship. That is, only of the ship.
