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 neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days.
8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery; and Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him healed him.
9 And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.
10 They presented many gifts to us; and when we sailed, they put on board whatever we needed.
11 After three months we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the Twin Brothers as figurehead.
