SCRIPTURE

"Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food." — Acts 27:36 (ASV)

Then were they all of good cheer (ευθυμο δε γενομενο). More exactly, "Then all becoming cheerful," because of Paul's words and conduct.

Took food (προσελαβοντο τροφης). Partitive genitive here (some food), not accusative as verse 33. Paul's courage was contagious.
