Acts 27:9
When much time was spent. How long a time had passed since the
embarkation cannot be told, but so long that
sailing was now dangerous. On account of the season of year. In
the winter, not only the storms, but the clouds and darkness,
interfered with navigation. Mariners, in the absence of the compass,
needed the sun and stars to direct their course.
Because the fast was . . . past. That of the Atonement, which
came in October.
