33-37. while day was coming on —"until it should be day"; that is, in the interval between the cutting off of the boat and the approach of day, which all were "anxiously looking for" ( :- ). Paul —now looked up to by all the passengers as the man to direct them. besought them all to take meat —"partake of a meal." saying, This is the fourteenth day ye have tarried —"waited for a breathing time." having eaten nothing —that is, taken no regular meal. The impossibility of cooking, the occupation of all hands to keep down leakage, &c., sufficiently explain this, which is indeed a common occurrence in such cases. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-34" class="com-number"
