Apostelgeschichte 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.

Apostelgeschichte 19:12 In-Context

10 Und das geschah zwei Jahre lang, also daß alle, die in Asien wohnten, das Wort des HERRN Jesus hörten, beide, Juden und Griechen.

11 und Gott wirkte nicht geringe Taten durch die Hände Paulus,

12 also daß sie auch von seiner Haut die Schweißtüchlein und Binden über die Kranken hielten und die Seuchen von ihnen wichen und die bösen Geister von ihnen ausfuhren.

13 Es unterwanden sich aber etliche der umherziehenden Juden, die da Beschwörer waren, den namen des HERRN Jesus zu nennen über die da böse Geister hatten, und sprachen: Wir beschwören euch bei dem Jesus den Paulus predigt.

14 Es waren aber sieben Söhne eines Juden Skevas, des Hohenpriesters, die solches taten.
