⁷In the same quarters were possessions of ^lthe chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days ^mcourteously. ⁸And 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 ⁿprayed, and ^olaid his hands on him, and healed him. ⁹So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: ¹⁰Who also honoured us with many ^phonours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
