SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:24
diciendo: Pablo, no temas; es necesario que seas presentado delante de Csar; y he aquí, Dios te ha dado a todos los que navegan contigo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 27:24
Verse 24. God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.] Two hundred and seventy-six souls saved for the sake of one man! This was a strong proof of God's approbation of Paul; and must at least have shown to Julius the centurion that his prisoner was an injured and innocent man.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Saying, fear not, Paul , etc.] For though the apostle knew and believed he should go to Rome, and appear before Caesar, to whom he had appealed, and where he should bear a testimony for Christ; and though he had previous notice of this storm, and of the loss and damage which should be sustained, and which he expected; yet the flesh was weak, and he might be under some fears and misgivings of heart, for these sometimes attend the best of men. Thou must be brought before Caesar ; as has been declared, and therefore cannot be lost in this storm; it is the will and decree of God, which cannot be frustrated, it must be: and lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee ; that is, God had determined to save the whole ships company for his sake, and in answer to his prayers, which he had been putting up for them; the Lord had heard him, and granted his request, and would save them all on his account: so sometimes God saves a nation, a city, a body of men, even of ungodly men, for the sake of a few that fear his name, who are among them.
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
27:24 {Thou must stand before Caesar} (kaisari se dei parastenai). Note the same dei (must) as in #23:11 when Jesus appeared to Paul in Jerusalem and the same verb parastenai (second aorist active infinitive) used in verse #23. {Hath granted thee} (kecaristai soi). Perfect middle indicative of carizomai and that from caris, a gift or grace. The lives of those that sailed with Paul God had spared as a gift (caris) to Paul.
