Acts 27 Bible study: All those who sail with you

At Fair Havens, "Paul admonished them" (27:9): "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives." (27:10) (tap loss). "But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul." (27:11). Later, "When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss." (27:21) (tap listened). "Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship." (27:22) (tap cheer). Here is what almost everyone misses: Paul gives his reason at once, in the words that follow: "For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve," (27:23). He tells them what the angel said (27:24), and then: "Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me." (27:25). The chapter sets Paul's words down one after another, and these notes set no one against anyone and add no reason of their own.

Strong's: "to stand beside, i.e. (transitively) to exhibit, proffer". Paul says, "For there stood by me this night an angel" (27:23), and gives the angel's words, "You must stand before Caesar." (27:24): behind stood by and stand before is this one verb. Thayer lists 27:23 under "to stand beside one", and 27:24 under "to appear", "before a judge". Favor's Acts 9 studies the verb and counts it in Acts.
