Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 28:1-15

From Caesarea to Rome (27:1-28:15)Festus arranged for a centurion and a unit of Roman soldiers to take Paul, along with a number of other prisoners, to Rome. Two Christians also went with Paul, his loyal friend Luke and a church leader from Thessalonica named Aristarchus (27:1-2; cf. 19:29; 20:4).

And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured.Publius ... chief man ... "This exact word has been found in two inscriptions as a title... read more

8. the father of Publius lay sick of a fever—"fevers." The word was often thus used in the plural number, probably to express recurring attacks. and of a bloody flux—"of dysentery." (The medical accuracy of our historian's style has been observed here.) to whom Paul entered in, and prayed—thereby precluding the supposition that any charm resided in himself. and laid his hands on him, and healed him—Thus, as our Lord rewarded Peter for the use of his boat (Luke 5:3; Luke 5:4, &c.), so Paul... read more
