ACTS 27:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.”
'Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to you and to the ship and cargo, and to our lives also.' - Paul's prophecy (prolegō, prolegō-'foretell, predict') warns of 'disaster' (hybris, hybris-'outrage, disaster,' sometimes 'hard journey') and 'great loss' (pollē zēmia, pollē zēmia-'much damage'). He foresees loss of 'ship and cargo' (skeuos, skeuos, literally 'vessel') and risk to 'our lives' (psychē, psychē-'souls, lives'). His warning stems not from seamanship but from spiritual perception, the same intuition that guided him through persecutions.
