“And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.”
Acts 27:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 27:28
And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms—The Greek bolisantes (having taken soundings) describes dropping a weighted lead line to measure depth. Twenty fathoms (120 feet) confirmed approaching land. When they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms—decreasing depth from twenty to fifteen fathoms proved they neared shore. Luke's nautical precision validates his 'we' sections as genuine eyewitness testimony. This practical seamanship combined with Paul's prophetic word shows God's guidance includes both supernatural revelation and natural wisdom.
