Acts 28:9 In-Context

7 Publius, the island's most prominent person, owned a large estate in that area. He welcomed us warmly into his home as his guests for three days.

8 Publius' father was bedridden, sick with a fever and dysentery. Paul went to see him and prayed. He placed his hand on him and healed him.

9 Once this happened, the rest of the sick on the island came to him and were healed.

10 They honored us in many ways. When we were getting ready to sail again, they supplied us with what we needed.

11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had spent the winter at the island. It was an Alexandrian ship with carvings of the twin gods Castor and Pollux as its figurehead.
