On the third day The mention of "the third day" is significant in biblical narratives, often symbolizing a period of trial followed by deliverance or revelation. In the context of Acts 27, it marks a critical point in the storm at sea, emphasizing the severity and duration of the crisis. Biblically, the third day is associated with resurrection and new beginnings, as seen in the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Luke 24:7) and Jonah's deliverance from the fish (Jonah 1:17). This timing underscores the desperation and urgency faced by those on the ship. they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Trust in God's SovereigntyIn times of crisis, we must trust in God's control over our circumstances, just as Paul did during the storm. Letting Go of Earthly Attachments The act of throwing the ship's tackle overboard symbolizes the need to let go of material possessions and trust in God's provision. Community in Crisis The crew's collective action highlights the importance of working together and supporting one another during difficult times. Faith Amidst Fear Like the sailors, we often face fear in life's storms, but faith calls us to act with courage and reliance on God. Divine Purpose in Trials God can use our trials to fulfill His purposes, as seen in Paul's journey to Rome, which ultimately leads to the spread of the Gospel.(19) We cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.--The better MSS. give the third person plural, and not the first. If we accept the Received text, the fact that the passengers as well as the crew were pressed into the service indicates the urgency of the peril; but even with the other reading, the words describe the prompt spontaneous action caused by a strong sense of danger. The Greek word for "tackling" (better, perhaps, furniture) is wider in its range than the English, and includes the beds and personal luggage and movables of all kinds. Even these the sailors were ready to sacrifice for the chance of safety.Verse 19. - They for we, A.V. and T.R.; their for our, A.V. The third day after leaving Clanda. The leak doubtless con-tinned, and there was more water in the ship. With their (or, our) own hands; αὐτόχειρες, only here in the Bible, but frequent in classical Greek. The word seems to mark that the sacrifice was very great, implying a very pressing danger. The tackling (τὴν σκευήν). There is great difference of opinion as to what the σκευή means here. Smith thinks the main spar is meant, "the huge mainyard," and Farrar adopts his view, which he thinks is strengthened by the use of the aorist ἐρρίψαμεν (for he adopts the T.R.), implying one single act, and showing, by the use of the first person, that it was the act of the whole crew united. Alford thinks that it means all the furniture, beds, and movables of all kinds, and so Wordsworth and Meyer. Wetstein explains it of the passengers' baggage. Howson thinks it unlikely they would have thrown away a great spar which would have supported twenty or thirty men in the water in the event of the ship foundering. Schleusner renders it "apparatus quo navis erat instructa." Σκευή is not used elsewhere in the New Testament, and it is difficult to speak decisively. But the addition of τοῦ πλοίου, and the general use of σκευή in classical Greek favors the interpretation "the ship's furniture" ("meubles et ustensiles," Renan). Parallel Commentaries ...
