ACTS 27:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.”
'I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.' - Paul's encouragement is twofold: practical (eat for survival) and spiritual ('not one of you will lose a single hair,' chē mē pēan mia tōn kephalēs hymōn, chē mē pēan mia tōn kephalēs hymōn-recalling Jesus's words about God's care in Luke 12:7). The promise is absolute: physical preservation of every person. Paul's word carries the weight of Jesus's care extended to the entire ship.
