Albert Barnes Commentary Acts 27:10

"and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives." — Acts 27:10 (ASV)

Sirs. Greek, Men.

I perceive. It is not certain that Paul understood this by direct inspiration. He might have perceived it from his own knowledge of the danger of navigation at the autumnal equinox, and from what he saw of the ship as unfitted for dangerous navigation. But there is nothing that should prevent our believing also that he was guided to this conclusion by the inspiration of the Spirit of God .

Will be with hurt. With injury, or hazard. It is not meant that their lives would be lost, but that they would be jeopardized.

The lading. The freight of the ship. It was laden with wheat (Acts 27:38). Paul evidently, by this, intended to suggest the propriety of remaining where they were, until the time of dangerous navigation was past.
