Acts 27:15

"But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon."

Key Reflection

This verse describes a violent Euroclydon wind that strikes the ship during a voyage, symbolizing unexpected and powerful trials or adversities that God allows in our lives to test our faith and perseverance. The storm serves as a vivid illustration of how such challenges can arise suddenly and intensely, much like the sudden onset of strong winds at sea.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 15. The ship was caught. By the wind. It came suddenly upon them as a tempest. Could not bear up, etc. Could not resist its violence, or could not direct the ship. It was seized by the wind, and driven with such violence that it became unmanageable. We let her drive. We suffered the ship to be borne along by the wind, without attempting to control it. {+} "caught" "Borne away" __________________________________________________________________
