Atos 19:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:12

So that from his body were brought unto the sick
The Ethiopic version renders it, "from the extremity", or "border of his garment"; and the Syriac version, "from the garments which were upon his body"; were brought and put upon the sick; that is, of the clothes which the apostle wore, some of them were taken and carried to sick persons, and used by them: particularly "handkerchiefs" or "aprons"; the former were such as he might use to wipe his face with, and remove sweat, or any filth from the body; and the latter, what he might wear as a mechanic, when working at his trade:

and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out
of them;
who were afflicted and possessed with them; these were some of the special and uncommon miracles wrought by the hands of the apostle, and which were wrought in an uncommon way; and which most clearly showed that they were wrought by a divine power.

Atos 19:12 In-Context

10 Durou isto por dois anos; de maneira que todos os que habitavam na Ásia, tanto judeus como gregos, ouviram a palavra do Senhor.

11 E Deus pelas mãos de Paulo fazia milagres extraordinários,

12 de sorte que lenços e aventais eram levados do seu corpo aos enfermos, e as doenças os deixavam e saíam deles os espíritos malignos.

13 Ora, também alguns dos exorcistas judeus, ambulantes, tentavam invocar o nome de Jesus sobre os que tinham espíritos malignos, dizendo: Esconjuro-vos por Jesus a quem Paulo prega.

14 E os que faziam isto eram sete filhos de Ceva, judeu, um dos principais sacerdotes.
