Acts 28:9 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 28:9

So when this was done
This miracle was wrought, and the fame of it spread over the island:

others also which had diseases in the island came:
from all parts of it, to the apostle:

and were healed;
of whatsoever diseases they were afflicted with.

Acts 28:9 In-Context

7 Now in the [regions] around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, {named} Publius, who welcomed us [and] entertained [us] hospitably [for] three days.

8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying down, afflicted with fever and dysentery. Paul went to {him} and [after] praying, he placed [his] hands on him [and] healed him.

9 And [after] this had taken place, the rest of those on the island who had diseases were coming and being healed also.

10 They also honored us with many honors, and [when we] were putting out to sea, they gave [us] the [things] {we needed}.

11 Now after three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered at the island, an Alexandrian [one] {with the twin gods Castor and Pollux as its insignia}.
