Places in this verse
Sidon
Today: Sidon (Saida), Lebanon
A port city on the Mediterranean coast, in present-day Lebanon, north of Tyre.
Ahab's wife Jezebel was the daughter of the king of Sidon (1 Kgs 16:31). Jesus said Sidon would have changed its mind had it seen his miracles (Luke 10:13).
The context
2And embarking on a ship of Adramyttium that was about to sail to the places along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, being with us.
3 · This verse (above)
4And from there putting out to sea, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
To study Acts 27 in a group
1. What it says
What does Paul tell the men on the ship as the storm drags on, and why? (vv. 21-26)
2. What it means
When the sailors want to escape in the boat, why does Paul say they must stay on the ship? (vv. 30-32)
3. How I live it
In the storm, Paul urged everyone to eat and not lose hope (vv. 33-36). How do you stay calm and look after others in a crisis?
