<p>27:20 <em>And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away</em>- One of the signs that they were nearing the end of their ordeal was that &quot;neither sun nor stars in many days appeared&quot;.&nbsp; Now this sounds very much like Lk. 21:25-27: &quot;There shall be signs in the sun and in the... stars... the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear... then look up... then shall they see the Son of man coming&quot;. The parable of salvation is developed by all the references to &quot;saved&quot; (:31,34,43,44; 28:1,4).</p>
