Acts 28:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 Now in the regions around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, named[a] Publius, who welcomed us and[b] entertained us[c] hospitably for three days. 8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying down, afflicted with fever and dysentery. Paul went[d] to him[e] and after[f] praying, he placed his[g] hands on him and[h] healed him. 9 And after[i] this had taken place, the rest of those on the island who had diseases were coming and being healed also.
