Acts 28:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Howbeit they waited when he should have [a]swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: [b]but after they had looked a great while, and saw no inconvenience come to him, they changed their minds, and said, That he was a God.
7 [c]In the same quarters, the chief man of the Isle (whose name was Publius) had possessions: the same received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 And so it was, that the father of Publius lay sick of the fever, and of a bloody flix: to whom Paul entered in, and when he prayed, he laid his hands on him, and healed him.
