Acts 28:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ In the vicinity of that place there were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, whose name was Publius.^[a] He received us and gave us his hospitality for three days. ⁸ It so happened that this man’s father was sick with a fever and dysentery. Paul visited him and cured him by praying and laying hands on him. ⁹ After this happened, the rest of the sick people on the island also came and were cured.
