📚 Historical Context
In Acts 27, the apostle Paul is aboard a ship sailing to Rome as a prisoner when a violent storm threatens to destroy the vessel. God had previously sent an angel to Paul in a vision, assuring him that not only would Paul survive but so would everyone on the ship. Paul is now encouraging the sailors and passengers to take heart because he believes God's word will come to pass.
