Acts 28:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 But they were expecting that he was going to swell up[a] or suddenly to fall down dead. So after[b] they had waited for a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and[c] began saying[d] that he was a god.
7 Now in the regions around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, named[e] Publius, who welcomed us and[f] entertained us[g] hospitably for three days. 8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying down, afflicted with fever and dysentery. Paul went[h] to him[i] and after[j] praying, he placed his[k] hands on him and[l] healed him.
