εἰς νῆσον δὲ κ. τ. λ.: the words do not form part of the message of the angel as they stand, but they may be considered as forming part of the contents of that message, and the Apostle may himself be regarded as speaking μαντικῶς. With Jüngst's question “How could Paul know anything of an island?” and his dismissal of the statement here as a vaticinium ex eventu, cf. Weizsäcker, u. s., see Acts 27:21; in the section, Acts 27:33-36, which Jüngst defends and refers to his source A, the element of prophecy is equally present, Acts 27:34, as in the verse before us. ἐκπεσεῖν, cf. Acts 27:17, and further instances in Wetstein, see also Acts 27:29; Acts 27:32, below.
