When the commander of the Temple guards and the high priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss as to what could have happened to them.

While Peter was still at a loss to know what the vision he had seen could mean, the men sent by Cornelius asked for Simon's house and went to the gate.

There is a danger not only that our business will lose its reputation but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be brought into disrepute and that she will be robbed of her majesty that brought all Asia and the world to worship her."

Much time had been lost, and because navigation had become dangerous and the day of fasting had already past, Paul began to warn those on the ship,

"Men, I see that during this voyage there will be hardship and a heavy loss not only of the cargo and ship, but also of our lives."

But now I urge you to have courage, because there will be no loss of life among you, but only loss of the ship.

So I urge you to eat something, for it will help you survive, since none of you will lose so much as a hair from his head."
