‏ Acts 27:23

 For there stood by me ( παρεστη γαρ μο ). Second aorist active (intransitive) indicative of  παριστημ with the locative case (beside me). The very form used by Paul of his trial (2Ti 4:17) when "the Lord stood by me" ( ο δε κυριος μο παρεστη ) when others deserted him. This angel of the God whom Paul serves (in distinction from the heathen gods) is the reason for Paul's present confidence.
