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 Near the shore where we landed was an estate belonging to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and treated us kindly for three days.

8 As it happened, Publius’s father was ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in and prayed for him, and laying his hands on him, he healed him.

9 Then all the other sick people on the island came and were healed.

10 As a result we were showered with honors, and when the time came to sail, people supplied us with everything we would need for the trip.

11 It was three months after the shipwreck that we set sail on another ship that had wintered at the island—an Alexandrian ship with the twin gods as its figurehead.
