The pilot in Greek is called the master of the ship.<br/><i>— Retractions on Acts</i></p><p><b>John Chrysostom</b>: Then, to show that it was not from conjecture that he so spake, the master of the ship said the contrary, and he a man of experience in the matter: so far was it from being the case that Paul's advice was given from conjecture. Moreover, the place suggested this same which the master said, \"being not commodious;\" and it was evident that from conjecture \"the more part advised\" as they did, rather than Paul.<br/><i>— Homily on Acts 53</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: \"But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the owner of the ship.\" The centurion did not pay attention to what was said by Paul, being persuaded rather by those experienced in navigation, who were more inclined to prevail than by a passenger inexperienced in seamanship. And from this he teaches that the error is of judgment and not of chance. For that it is possible by nature to avoid danger, experience itself teaches not to plunge oneself down, since, as is beyond doubt, a thing carries danger, with fortune and fate lying asleep over what has gone before, or indeed awake yet unable to act against the deliberate choice of humans, by which they conduct and carry matters relating to themselves as they wish, as also those who traveled with Paul. For they acted according to choice, because immediately, having met a favorable wind, they gladly completed the voyage.
