Context — Paul's Journey to Romegenerated
Acts 28:11 describes the moment when Paul and his companions, after spending three months on the island, embarked on their journey towards Rome. The ship they chose was Alexandrian, indicating its origin from the prominent city of Alexandria in Egypt. This context highlights the transition from a period of waiting to the continuation of their mission, as they set sail with a ship that bore the figurehead of the Dioscuri, known for aiding sailors in perilous times.

The Key Word — παραχειμάζω, paracheimazōgenerated
The word παρακεχειμακότι (transliterated as paracheimakoti) is a perfect active participle, indicating an action that has been completed in the past but still holds relevance. It describes the state of having spent the winter, emphasizing the duration of their stay on the island.
This term is derived from the root χειμάζω, meaning 'to winter,' and is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of staying in a location during the cold season. The perfect aspect indicates that the action of wintering is complete, but its effects linger as they prepare to leave.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The primary wording in the Berean Standard Bible uses wintered, which is echoed in the KJV and ASV. All translations maintain the meaning of having spent the winter in a specific location.
Where the translations diverge is in the rendering of Διοσκούροις. The KJV and GNV refer to them as Castor and Pollux, while the ULB opts for the twin gods, indicating a difference in how they are identified.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains one main verb, ἀνήχθημεν, we set out, which governs the entire sentence. It is supported by several phrases that provide additional details about the timing, the ship, and its figurehead.
The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating time (Μετὰ τρεῖς μῆνας), a noun phrase describing the ship, and a participial phrase that elaborates on the ship's condition during the winter.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Greek word νῆσος (island) corresponds to the Hebrew אִי, which also means 'island' or 'coast.' This term appears in the Septuagint, emphasizing the geographical context of the narrative.
The term παρακεχειμακότι does not have a direct parallel in the Septuagint but reflects a common theme of travel and transition found in various Old Testament narratives.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 28:11 tells us that after three months on the island, Paul and his companions set sail on an Alexandrian ship that had spent the winter there. The ship was marked with the figurehead of the Dioscuri, the twin gods known for protecting sailors.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
They likely stayed due to winter weather conditions that made sailing dangerous, as indicated by the term παρακεχειμακότι.
Alexandria was a major port city, known for its large ships and trade, indicating that they were using a reliable vessel for their journey.
The Dioscuri, or Castor and Pollux, were twin gods in Greek mythology, often invoked by sailors for protection during their travels.
The figurehead of a ship often represents its identity or purpose; in this case, it signifies the ship's connection to the Dioscuri, suggesting a hope for safe passage.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What can we learn from Paul's patience during his three-month stay on the island?
- How does the symbolism of the Dioscuri as a figurehead relate to our own journeys and challenges?
- In what ways can we prepare for transitions in our lives, as Paul did before setting sail?
- What does this passage teach us about the importance of community and support during difficult times?

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Post menses autem tres navigavimus in navi Alexandrina, quæ in insula hiemaverat, cui erat insigne Castorum.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word μετά (transliterated as meta) is a preposition that can mean 'with,' 'among,' or 'after,' depending on the case it governs (genitive, accusative, or sometimes dative). In the New Testament, it is used to indicate association or companionship, as in Mark 1:29, and to denote sequence in time or place, as seen in Hebrews 9:3. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

a conjunctive particle, marking the superaddition of a clause, whether in opposition or in continuation, to what has preceded, and it may be variously rendered but, on the other hand, and, also, now, etc.; καὶ δέ, when there is a special superaddition in continuation, too, yea, etc. It sometimes is found at the commencement of the apodosis of a sentence, Acts 11:17. It serves also to mark the resumption of an interrupted discourse, 2 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 2:6
δέ but: conjunctive Particle, with adversative force: it commonly answers to μέν, and may often be rendered by while, whereas, on the other hand, v. μέν:— but μέν is often omitted, δέ being used merely to pass on from one thing to another; ὣς Ἀχιλεὺς θάμβησεν, θάμβησαν δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι Il.; etc.; κινεῖ κραδίην κινεῖ δὲ χόλον Eur.

The Greek word τρεῖς (transliterated as treis) means 'three' and is a primary numeral. It appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew and Mark. The word has different forms, including τρία and τά, and has been used since ancient times, often associated with symbolic meanings in various cultures.
τρεῖς, of, ai, τρία, τά, three: Mt. xii. 40; Mk. viii. 2; Lk. i. 56; Jn. ii. 19, and often. [From Hom. down.] Tpels TaBepvar, see ταβέρναι.
τρεῖς In its only occurrence in the NT (Heb 41%) τετραχηλισμένα can only mean ‘‘laid open,” ‘‘ exposed,” “open” (Vg aferta; Hesych. πεφανερωμένα), but the origin of the metaphor is very doubtful. Moffatt (7CC Hed ad /.) suggests ‘‘ the practice of exposing an offender's face by pushing his head back,” Souter (Zex. s.v.), with greater probability, prefers “‘the bending back of the head in sacrifice so as to expose theneck,’’ like the Homeric aveptw (ZZ. 1. 459). The verb is found in Teles (ed. Hense) pp. 10%, 509: see also Philo de Cherud. 78 (ed. Cohn) πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπιτρέχουσι καὶ τραχηλίζουσι δεινοῖς ὑποβεβλημένος, and the compd. ἐκτραχηλίζω in 20. Leg.

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it. Compare Ge 7:12,17 1Sa 30:12-13.

μήν (mēn) means 'month' and is derived from the genitive μηνός (mēnos). It is frequently used in the New Testament, appearing in verses like Luke 1:24 and Revelation 22:2. The term also refers to the time of the new moon, indicating its significance in ancient calendars and festivals.
μήν, gen. μηνός, 6, (w. Alex. ace. μῆναν, Rev. xxii. 2 Lehm.; on which form see reff. under ἄρσην, fin.); [fr. Hom. down]; 1. a month: Lk. i. 24, 26, 36,56; iv. 25; Acts vii. 20; xviii. 11; xix. 8; xx.3; xxviii. 11; Jas. v. 17: Rev.ix. 5,10, 153)-xi- 25) xin. δ᾽ ΧΙ 9. 2. the time of new moon, new moon, (barbarous Lat. novilunium; after the use of the Hebr. wan, which denotes both a ‘month’ and a ‘new moon,’ as in Num. xxviii. 11; xxix 1): Gal. iv. 10 [Bp. Lghtft. compares Is. Ixvi. 23] (the first day of each month, when the new moon appeared was a festival among the Hebrews; ef. Lev. xxiii. 24 Num. xxviii. 11; Ps. Ixxx. (ixxxi.) 4); [al. refer the passage to 1 (see Mey. ad loc.) ].
μήν. For μήν denoting a (lunar) month cf. P Amh II. 502° (B.C. 106) τόκους διδράχμους τῆς μνᾶς τὸν μῆνα ἕκαστον, “interest at the rate of two drachmae on the mina each month,” P Oxy II. 294° (A.D. 22) (= Selections, p. 34) ἐπὶ τῷ γεγονέναι ἐν ᾿Αλεξανδρίᾳ [tH . . τοῦ ὑπογε]γραμμένου μηνός, “on my arrival in Alexandria on the .. of the underneted month,” BGU III. 9754 (A.p. 45) (= Selections, Ρ. 42) μηνὸς Μεχὶρ πέμπτῃ καὶ εἰκάτῃ, ‘the twenty-fifth day of the month Mechir,” and the illiterate P Oxy XII. 1489§ (late iii/A.D.) τοῦ ἄλλο (7 -ου) μηνὸς ἐλεύσομε (1 —par), “J shall return in another month,” cf. ® εἰ δῖ, ἔρχομε τῷ ἄλλο μηνί (7. ἔρχομαι. . ἄλλῳ).

The Greek word πλοῖον (ploion) refers to a vessel or ship, derived from the verb meaning 'to sail.' It encompasses various types of boats, including merchant ships and small craft, and is frequently used in the New Testament, notably in Matthew 4:21-22 and Acts 21:2-3. The term has historical usage in classical literature as well.
πλοῖον, -ου, τό
(< πλέω),
[in LXX chiefly for אֳנִיָּה;]

Od. 3, 169 down; voyage: Acts xxi. 7; xxvii. 9, 10, (Sap. xiv. 1).
πλοῖον, “‘boat.” For this common word, which comes to be used for ‘‘ship’’ (Ac 2018) owing to the almost complete disappearance of ναῦς, cf. P Leid U* ὁ (ii/s.c.)

No one writer in the whole range of Greek and Roman literature has supplied us with so much information concerning the merchant-ships of the ancients as St. Luke in the narrative of St. Paul’s voyage to Rome. Acts 27,28. It is important to remember that he accomplished it in three ships: first, the Adramyttian vessel which took him from Caesarea to Myra, and which was probably a coasting-vessel of no great size, (Acts 27:1-6) secondly, the large Alexandrian corn-ship, in which he was wrecked on the coast of Malta (Acts 27:6-28) :1; and thirdly, another large Alexandrian corn-ship, in which he sailed from Malta by Syracuse and Rhegium to Puteoli. (Acts 28:11-13) Size of ancient ships . --The narrative which we take as our chief…
The ships of the ancients were very imperfect in comparison with modern ones. Navigators crept carefully along the shores, from one headland or prominent point to another, making a harbor if practicable every night; and when out of sight of land, being ignorant of the compass and quadrant, they guided their course by the sun and certain stars. Even in St. Paul’s time, vessels passing from Palestine to Italy, sometimes wintered on the way!
Ac 27:12 28:11. The ancient ships were in general small, though a few large ships are on record. They were often highly ornamented both at the prow and the stern; and the figurehead or "sign," by which the vessel was known, was sometimes an image of its tutelar divinity. They were usually propelled by oars often in several "banks" or rows one above another, as well as by sails. In war, the galley…

Counted over the 23 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The Greek word παραχειμάζω (transliterated as *paracheimazo*) means to winter or spend the winter at a place. It is formed from the prefix παρα- and the root χειμάζω. The New Testament uses it in several passages, including Acts and Corinthians, to describe staying in a location during the rainy season.
παραχειμάζω: fut. παραχειμάσω; 1 aor. inf. mapayetpaca; pf. ptep. παρακεχειμακώς ; to winter, pass the winter, with one or ata place: Acts xxvii. 12; 1 Co. xvi. 6; ἐν τῇ νήσῳ, Acts xxviii. 11; ἐκεῖ, Tit. iii. 12. (Dem. p. 909, 15; Polyb. 2, 64,1; Diod. 19, 34; Plut. Sertor. 3; Dio Cass. 40, 4.)
παραχειμάζω, ‘spend the winter” (Ac 2713, 2811, a/.) : cf. OG/S 5443° (ii/A.D.) ἀποδεξάμεν[όν] τε στρατεύματα τὰ παραχειμάσαίν]τα ἐν τῇ πόλει.
παραχειμάζω (paracheimazō) — to winter.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word νῆσος (lemma: nēsos) means 'island.' It appears in various contexts, including the New Testament in Acts and Revelation. The term may also refer to land flooded by the Nile, contrasting with high land. There is a variant form, νῆσσον, noted in some manuscripts.
νῆσος. For this fem. subst. in -os, it is sufficient to cite P Petr IT. 28 1.9 (iii/B.c.) ἱερᾶς νήσου, BGU IV. 1031} (ii/A.p.) dpa μὴ ἀμελήσῃς τὸν ἁλοητὸν (“threshing”) τῆς νήσου. The word was used (in contrast to ἤπειρος, “‘high land”’) of land flooded by the Nile, and was so designated on account of the canals by which it was intersected (see Preisigke Fachwirter s.v.). In P Oxy VIII. 1r01* (A.p. 367-70) a Prefect gives orders that in certain circumstances a man should be deported to an island—totroy νῆσον οἰκῆσαι KeAet[w. For the form νῆσσον which is read in Ac 13° D, see Crénert Mem. Herc. p. 93, and for νησιῶτις used as an adj., see P Grenf II. 15%? (B.c. 139) γῆς νησιωτίδος. MGr νησί, ‘‘island.

(Heb. ‘i, “dry land,” as opposed to water) occurs in its usual signification (Isa. 42:4, 10, 12, 15, comp. Jer. 47:4), but more frequently simply denotes a maritime region or sea-coast (Isa. 20:6, R.V.,” coastland;” 23:2, 6; Jer. 2:10; Ezek. 27:6, 7). (See CHITTIM.) The shores of the Mediterranean are called the “islands of the sea” (Isa. 11:11), or the “isles of the Gentiles” (Gen. 10:5), and sometimes simply “isles” (Ps. 72:10);

The Greek word Ἀλεξανδρῖνος (transliterated as *Alexandrinos*) means 'Alexandrian' and is an adjective describing something related to Alexandria. It appears in the New Testament in Acts 27:6 and 28:11. The term is built from a root that refers to Alexandria, and all sources consistently define it in this way.

The Greek word παράσημος (i.e., *parasemos*) is built from the prefix παρά and the root σῆμα, meaning 'mark.' It encompasses meanings like 'marked falsely,' 'counterfeit,' or 'noted.' The New Testament uses it in Acts 28:11, referring to a ship marked with the figurehead of the Dioscuri. The lexicons note its use for both literal and metaphorical markings.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word Διόσκουροι (i.e., Dioskouroi) refers to the Dioscuri, the twin sons of Zeus, Castor and Pollux. This term appears in Acts 28:11 and is associated with sailors as their patrons. The word is built from Διός (genitive of Zeus) and κόρος (meaning 'son'). There is some variation in the form, with Διόσκοροι being an Attic variant.

di-os'-ku-ri (Dioscouroi; in Ac 28:11, the King James Version Castor and Pollux, the Revised Version (British and American) THE TWIN BROTHERS; in margin, "Dioscuri"): The sign of the ship on which Paul sailed from Melita to Syracuse and Rhegium. The Dioscuri (i.e. sons of Zeus), Castor and Pollux, are the two chief stars in the constellation of the Twins. Some 4,000 years BC they served as pointers to mark the beginning of the new year by setting together with the first new moon of springtime. The constellation of the Twins was supposed to be especially favorable to sailors, hence, ships were often placed under the protection of the twin gods.
