Interlinear
[St. Thomas Bay's] approach from the sea would be from the east/southeast, the precise direction a Euroclydon would be blowing [Acts 27:14] after two weeks of fury [fourteen days, Acts 27:27]. Its approach was punctuated by a long finger of shallow reef over which waves break even in relatively calm weather [see note, Acts 27:27]. Our maritime charts showed a sloping approach that coincided exactly with the sailors' soundings as recorded by Luke [Acts 27:28]. There, at the easternmost tip of Malta, currents and wind-driven swells come together in stormy weather in a way that can only be described as waters colliding [where two seas meet, Acts 27:41]. And, finally, at its innermost reaches, where the sea meets the coastline of Malta, the cliffs so prominent everywhere along the eastern coastline give way to a gentle, sloping, inviting beachfront [Acts 27:39].
