82 The same verb is used for Paul’s original recommendation in Ac 27:9.
83 Grk “except the ship.” Here “but” is used to translate the improper preposition πλήν (plēn; see πλήν 2) since an exception like this, where two different categories of objects are involved (people and a ship), is more naturally expressed in contemporary English with an adversative (“but”). The words “will be lost” are also supplied for clarity. The “prophecy” about the ship serves to underscore Paul’s credibility as an agent of God. Paul addressed his audience carefully and drew attention to the sovereign knowledge of God.
