7Near 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.
8As 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.
9Then all the other sick people on the island came and were healed.
10As 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.
