Reading for June 11th

Read Acts 27.1-26
In 27.1-28.31: Paul's journey to Rome.
In 27.1-28.15: This journey account is filled with nautical details, but less theological content than the rest of Acts narrative.
In verses 9-11: The Fast, or "Day of Atonement," appears to be a calendar reference for the late season (contrast 20.16).
In verse 17: The sea anchor provided drag but did not arrest the ship's movement.
In verses 21-25: I have faith in God echoes 24.15.
Paul testifies that the safety of the journey depends on God's promise to him (23.11) rather than the ineptitude of their sailing.
In verse 26: Paul predicts the shipwreck on Malta (28.1).
