Apostle Paul launched out on his last voyage; his journey by sea from Caesarea to Rome, later popularly called, Paul’s Fourth Missionary Journey.
While Apostle Paul was, sailing as a prisoner towards Rome a great storm called “Euroclydon” rose up and blew against the ship, Acts 27:14.
”And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive”, Acts 27:15.
After the ship sailed by one of the islands named “Clauda”, the crew experienced “much work” to save ship from damages by the fierce winds, Acts 27:16.
The ship having left Clauda was “tossed with a tempest” so the next day they “lightened the ship,” Acts 27:18.
However, the storm was not over because it continued to the third day. On the third day, the passengers toss the “tackling of the ship” overboard with their bare hands, Acts 27:19. For many days, it was dark, gloomy, and hopeless because there was no sun.
These dark days combined with the foul weather combined with the great storm for many days removed all hope that the ship and its passengers would be found, Acts 27:20.
