So when this was done

Acts 28:9 In-Context

7 Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.

8 It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.

9 After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.

10 They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.

11 Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the `Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
