- Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
- In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
- And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
- So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
- Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

- The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
- There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and for three days entertained us hospitably.
- His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
- When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.
- They honored us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.
