Acts 27:39
_ _ when it was day they knew not the land — This has been thought surprising in sailors accustomed to that sea. But the scene of the wreck is remote from the great harbor, and possesses no marked features by which it could be recognized, even by a native if he came unexpectedly upon it [Smith], not to speak of the rain pouring in torrents (Acts 28:2), which would throw a haze over the coast even after day broke. Immediately on landing they knew where they were (Acts 28:1).
_ _ discovered a creek with a shore — Every creek of course, must have a shore; but the meaning is, a practicable shore, in a nautical sense, that is, one with a smooth beach, in contradistinction to a rocky coast (as Acts 27:41 shows).
_ _ into which they were minded, if ... possible, to thrust the ship — This was their one chance of safety. |

They did not know the land — Which they saw near them: having a level shore. |

(11) Then are tempests most of all to be feared and looked for, when the port or haven is nearest.
(h) A creek is a sea within land, as the Adriatic Sea, and the Persian Sea. |
