Albert Barnes Commentary Acts 27:44

"and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land." — Acts 27:44 (ASV)

And the rest. Those who could not swim.

They escaped all safe to land, according to the promise which was made to Paul (Acts 27:22).

This was done by the special Providence of God. It was a remarkable instance of Divine interposition to save so many through such prolonged dangers; and it shows that God can defend in any perils and accomplish all his purposes.

On the ocean or the land, we are safe in his keeping; and he can devise ways that will fulfill all his purposes and protect his people from danger.
