⁷ There ·were some fields [or was an estate] around there owned by Publius, ·an important man [or the chief official; governor] on the island. He ·welcomed [received] us into his home and ·was very good to us [provided generous hospitality; treated us as honored guests] for three days. ⁸ Publius’ father was sick in bed with a fever and dysentery [^Ca serious illness that includes cramping and severe diarrhea]. Paul went to him, prayed, and ·put [or laid] his hands on the man and healed him. ⁹ After this, ·all the other [^Lthe rest of the] sick people on the island came to Paul, and he healed them, too.
