Acts 28:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ The people thought that Paul would swell up or fall down dead. They waited and watched him for a long time, but nothing bad happened to him. So they changed their minds and said, “He is a god!”

⁷ There were some fields around there owned by Publius, an important man on the island. He welcomed us into his home and was very good to us for three days. ⁸ Publius’ father was sick with a fever and dysentery.^[a] Paul went to him, prayed, and put his hands on the man and healed him.
