0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.6 | If you're doing our New Testament plan, today we finished our 12th book, and if you're doing the whole Bible, we finished our 51st book. |
0:20.1 | Paul defended himself in front of King Agrippa and Governor Felix yesterday, and today we |
0:24.0 | launch into the aftermath of that trial, where he's being transported to Rome to appeal to |
0:28.0 | Caesar like he requested. |
0:29.7 | He has to be taken there by sea, and the authorities are kind enough to let his friends |
0:33.3 | travel with him, including our narrator Luke. |
0:35.9 | This is a bigger ship with sails and anchors, |
0:38.3 | not a little fishing boat, and there are nearly 300 people on board. At this point, it's approximately |
0:43.4 | 59 AD, roughly 30 years after Jesus rose from the dead, and it's autumn. The trip is taking |
0:49.3 | them longer than it normally would, because they hit some rough winds and have to reroute along the way. |
0:53.9 | Around this time of year, most of the shipping expeditions are halted because the weather is so |
0:58.1 | bad on the seas in winter. Paul tells them, I have a bad feeling about this, you guys. If we |
1:03.3 | continue on, I don't think this is going to go well. We'll probably end up losing some of our |
1:06.7 | supplies and some of our shipmates. By the way, we don't have any evidence that this is a message |
1:11.4 | from God. It could just be Paul speaking from experience. Either way, they don't listen to him. |
1:16.4 | He's a prisoner, after all. Sure enough, they hit a storm. On day two of the storm, they start |
1:21.2 | throwing the ship's cargo overboard, which probably includes exports like wheat. On day three of the |
1:26.4 | storm, they start throwing their actual |
1:28.1 | tools and maybe even parts of the ship itself overboard. They're getting desperate. The sky is |
1:34.2 | dark and stormy for days and they're feeling hopeless, and probably seasick too, I'm guessing. |
1:39.7 | They haven't had anything to eat in days, but I'm not sure if that makes things better or worse. |
