Context — Paul's Leadership During the Stormgenerated
Acts 27:32 describes a moment when the soldiers, following Paul's instructions, cut the ropes of the lifeboat to prevent it from being used as an escape route. This action reflects their commitment to remaining with the ship, as Paul had warned that only those who stayed would be saved. The surrounding verses illustrate the tension and urgency of the situation as they face a violent storm at sea.

The Key Word — ἀπέκοψαν, apékopsangenerated
The verb ἀποκόπτω (i.e., *apokopto*) means 'to cut off' or 'to amputate.' It can imply a literal severing, such as cutting ropes, or a metaphorical sense of exclusion. In this context, it refers specifically to the soldiers cutting the ropes of the lifeboat, a decisive action in a critical moment.
This verb appears in a few other places in the New Testament, such as Mark 9:43, where it refers to cutting off a body part, emphasizing the seriousness of the action. Here, the soldiers' choice to cut the ropes signifies a commitment to the ship and to Paul’s guidance.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations of this verse generally agree on the core action of the soldiers cutting the ropes and letting the lifeboat drift. The Berean Standard Bible uses the phrase cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift, which is echoed in the KJV and ASV.
Where they differ is in the rendering of specific terms. For example, the word σχοινία is translated as ropes in most versions, while cords is used in the BBE. Similarly, the phrase ἐκπεσεῖν is rendered variably as fall or to fall off.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is ἀπέκοψαν, they cut away, which governs the action of cutting the ropes. The sentence then includes a noun phrase that serves as the subject (οἱ στρατιῶται, the soldiers) and a noun phrase that serves as the object (τὰ σχοινία, the ropes).
The structure is straightforward, with the main action clearly stated and followed by the results of that action. The use of the conjunction καὶ connects the two actions of cutting and allowing the lifeboat to drift.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
σχοινίον refers to a small rope or cord, and in the Septuagint, it is often used to translate the Hebrew word חֶ֫בֶל, which can mean a cord or a band. This connection emphasizes the physicality and commonality of ropes in both the Old and New Testaments.
The word ἀποκόπτω does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint, but its meaning of cutting aligns with various contexts where severing or separating is necessary, reflecting the urgency of the soldiers' decision.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 27:32 shows how the soldiers cut the ropes of the lifeboat and let it drift away. This decision was made because Paul had warned them that staying with the ship was essential for their survival. The action illustrates the tension of their situation as they faced a storm at sea.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
The soldiers cut the ropes to prevent the lifeboat from being used to escape, as Paul warned that everyone needed to stay with the ship to be saved.
The lifeboat symbolizes a potential escape from danger, but cutting it loose represents a commitment to face the storm together with the ship and its passengers.
Paul's warning emphasizes the importance of unity and trust in God's guidance during perilous situations, highlighting that safety comes from following divine instruction.
This verse illustrates the theme of faith in Acts, as the soldiers act on Paul's guidance, showing their trust in his leadership and the promise of safety.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Ammonius of Alexandria comments on this passage, discussing the soldiers' realization of their need to heed Paul's words for their salvation.
After they realized that their bad will had caused them to fall into dangers, they began to believe Paul by thinking that the appropriate words of the righteous were more effective for their salvation than the fate in danger,
He argues that the soldiers began to trust Paul after recognizing the dangers they faced, indicating the effectiveness of righteous counsel.

The Greek word τότε (i.e., *tote*) is a demonstrative adverb meaning 'then' or 'at that time.' It is used to refer to specific points in the past or future, often in relation to concurrent or consequent events. The New Testament frequently employs it, especially in the Gospel of Matthew, to indicate transitions in narrative or to specify timing.

The Greek word ἀποκόπτω (i.e., *apokopto*) means 'to cut off' or 'to amputate.' It can refer to literal cutting, such as severing limbs, or metaphorical uses like excluding or rejecting. In the New Testament, it appears in verses like Mark 9:43 and Galatians 5:12, where it can imply self-mutilation or castration. The lexicons note its use in various contexts, including mourning and literary expressions.

The Greek word στρατιώτης (i.e., *stratiōtēs*) means 'soldier' and is derived from a root related to military service. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to Roman soldiers in Matthew and Mark, and metaphorically as a 'soldier of Christ' in 2 Timothy 2:3. The lexicons generally agree on its meaning and usage.
στρατιώτης, -ov, 6, (fr. στρατιός [(cf. στρατεύω)], like ἡλιώτης, κλοιώτης, ἠπειρώτης), fr. Hdt. down, a (common) soldier: Mt. viii. 9; Mk. xv. 16; Lk. xxiii. 36; Jn. xix. 2; Acts x. 7; xii. 4, ete.; with the addition of Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, metaph., a champion of the cause of Christ, 2 Tim. ii. 3.
στρατιώτης, “a soldier”: cf. P Amh II. 39% (letter of a captain— late ii/B.c.) tots ἄλλοις [στ]ρ[αἸ]τιώται[ς] πᾶσι χαίρειν, P Oxy II. 2407 (a.p. 37) εἶ μὴν [μὴ συνε]ιδέναι με μηδενὶ διασεσεισμέϊνωι ἐπὶ] τῶν προκειμένων κωμῶν ὑπὸ [...... 1os στρατιώτου καὶ τῶν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, “that I know of no one in the village aforesaid from whom extortions have been made by the soldier . . . or his agents” (Edd.)

The Greek word σχοινίον (lemma: schoinion) is a diminutive form of σχοῖνος (a rush) and generally means a small rope or cord.

The entries indicate that it can also denote measuring lines or metaphorically represent burdens.

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.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
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 σκάφη (skaphe) refers to anything that is scooped out, particularly a light boat or skiff. It can also denote hollow vessels like troughs or tubs. The New Testament uses it in Acts 27:16, 30, and 32, where it specifically refers to a small boat. Various lexicons note its broader meanings, but they consistently emphasize its association with boats.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word ἐκπίπτω (ekpipto) combines the prefix ἐκ (out of) with πίπτω (to fall). It generally means to fall out of, fall from, or fall off, and can also imply losing something or becoming ineffective. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like falling away from grace (Galatians 5:4) and being cast ashore (Acts 27:17).
