Reading for August 28th

 Read Acts 27.27-28.6. In 27.33: Paul intervenes for the fourth time (vv. 10, 21, 31). In verse 34: On the assurance that they will not lose a hair from your heads, see Lk 21.18; 12.7. In verses 43-44: so Paul was saved, and so all were saved (27.24). In 28.3: A viper (Lk 3.7) could refer to many varieties of snakes, which traditional lore regarded as representing spiritual forces. In verse 4: Justice is viewed by the locals as a  personified power executing vengeance on one who almost escaped (Am 5.19). In verse 6: His power over snakes (Lk 10.18-19; Mk 18.18) makes them think he is a god (14.11-12). Comments or Questions..
