Exegesis
The impersonal passive ekrithē {ἐκρίθη | ek-rí-thē} introduces a decision, governing the genitive articular infinitive tou apoplein {τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν | toû a-po-plēîn} “that we should sail away,” with hēmas {ἡμᾶς | hḗ-mâs} as its object.
In context — Acts 27:1
After it had been decided that we were to sail to Italy, they handed Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion named Julius of the Augustan Cohort .
