ISB ~ Acts 27 v35

he took bread:After days of rough waters and seasickness drowned the crew’s appetite, Paul encouraged them to find strength in food before their final swim to safety. The sequence of giving thanks and breaking bread could suggest a eucharistic celebration (Lk 24:30-35), but similar ritual actions were performed at normal Jewish meals (Lk 9:16; 1 Tim 4:45). Since Luke gives no indication that the captain and crew were baptized believers, the latter case is more probable than the former.
