Commentary Right up to daybreak This phrase indicates the time frame in which the events are occurring. The Greek word for "daybreak" is "ἡμέρα" (hēmera), which signifies the coming of light and the end of darkness. In a spiritual sense, this can symbolize hope and the promise of God's deliverance. The persistence of Paul "right up to daybreak" reflects his unwavering faith and leadership, even in dire circumstances. Historically, this was a time of great peril for the ship's crew and passengers, as they were caught in a violent storm. Paul's actions demonstrate the importance of steadfastness and encouragement in times of crisis. Paul kept urging them all to eat Today is the fourteenth day you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food you have not eaten anything That ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.--Better, that ye continue on the look-out, without a meal, taking no extra food. The English somewhat exaggerates the force of the Greek. The word for "fasting" is not that which is commonly used in the New Testament to express entire abstinence from food. It was physically impossible that the two hundred and seventy-six who were on board could have gone on for fourteen days without any food at all. Scanty rations had, we must believe, been doled out to those who came for them; but the tension of suspense was so great that they had not sat down to any regular meal. They had taken, as the last word implies, nothing beyond what was absolutely necessary to keep body and soul together. What they wanted physically was food, and morally, the sense of restored companionship; and to this St. Paul's advice led them. Verse 33. - Some food for meat, A.V.; wait and continue for have tarried and continued, A.V. All; including the treacherous sailors whose plot he had just defeated. Having taken nothing; not meaning that they had literally been fourteen days without tasting food, which is impossible; but that they had no regular meals, only snatching a mouthful now and then in the midst of their incessant toil.Parallel Commentaries ...
