ACTS 27:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0
Acts 27:12Acts 27:14
“And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.”
When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. - The 'gentle south wind' (pneō, pneō, with 'south,' notios, notios-'a gentle south breeze') seems providential, encouraging departure. The ship 'weighed anchor' (ara, ara-'lift, raise') and sailed 'along the shore' (hypopleō, hypopleō-'sail under the lee'). They proceed into the trap; the gentle wind is deceptive.
