SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:26
con todo, es necesario que demos en una isla.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 27:26
Verse 26. We must be cast upon a certain island.] The angel which gave him this information did not tell him the name of the island. It turned out to be Melita, on which, by the violence of the storm, they were wrecked some days after.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Howbeit, we must be cast upon a certain island .] This circumstance is foretold, that when the whole affair should come to pass, it might be manifest that it was not a casual thing, a fortuitous event, a business of chance, but was predetermined by God, made known to the apostle, and predicted by him. This island was Melita; and the fulfilment of this part of the prediction is related in ( Acts 28:1).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-29 - They did not hearken to the apostle when he warned them of their danger; yet if they acknowledge their folly, and repent of it, he wil speak comfort and relief to them when in danger. Most people brin themselves into trouble, because they do not know when they are wel off; they come to harm and loss by aiming to mend their condition often against advice. Observe the solemn profession Paul made of relation to God. No storms or tempests can hinder God's favour to his people, for he is a Help always at hand. It is a comfort to the faithful servants of God when in difficulties, that as long as the Lor has any work for them to do, their lives shall be prolonged. If Pau had thrust himself needlessly into bad company, he might justly have been cast away with them; but God calling him into it, they ar preserved with him. They are given thee; there is no greate satisfaction to a good man than to know he is a public blessing. He comforts them with the same comforts wherewith he himself wa comforted. God is ever faithful, therefore let all who have an interes in his promises be ever cheerful. As, with God, saying and doing ar not two things, believing and enjoying should not be so with us. Hop is an anchor of the soul, sure and stedfast, entering into that withi the veil. Let those who are in spiritual darkness hold fast by that and think not of putting to sea again, but abide by Christ, and wai till the day break, and the shadows flee away.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
27:26 {We must be cast} (dei hemas ekpesein). It is necessary for us to fall out (ekpesein, second aorist active infinitive of ekpiptw). It was not revealed to Paul what island it would be.
