Acts 27:37 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

That is, so many persons; as Acts 2:41, Acts 7:14 Romans 13:1; the soul being the noblest part, and the body following its condition, whatsoever it be: if the soul be holy, the body shall be glorious. But it is not so on the other side: the soul is not hereafter as the body is here; for Dives's body fared well, was fed and arrayed sumptuously, and yet his soul was miserably tormented, Luke 16:19,24.

Acts 27:37

37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
