使徒行傳 28:7-9 RCUVTS

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 28:1-99

Acts 28 WE STILL SEE the protecting hand of God stretched over Paul and his companions when they had landed on Malta. Though the inhabitants were “barbarians” according to Roman thoughts, they showed exceptional kindness to the shipwrecked party, and things were so over-ruled that they soon discovered that one of the shipwrecked visitors was no ordinary person. Paul was busily engaged, doing what he could to help, when a viper fastened itself on his hand. The superstitious islanders placed... read more

The healing of the father of Publius: v. 7. In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island. whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously. v. 8. and it came to pass that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux; to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. v. 9. So when this was done. others also which had diseases in the island came and were healed; v. 10. who also honored us... read more

B.—Experiences And Acts Of The Apostle At MaltaActs 28:1-101And when they [we] were escaped [ashore], then they [we1] knew [ascertained]that the island was [is, χαλεῖται] called Melita [Malta]. 2And the barbarous people [the strangers, βάρβαροι] shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled2 a fire, and received us every one [us all, πάντας], because of the present rain [of the rain which had set in], and because of the cold. 3And [But] when Paul had gathered a3 bundle of sticks, and laid them... read more

Acts AFTER THE WRECK Act_28:1 - Act_28:16 . ‘They all escaped safe to land,’ says Luke with emphasis, pointing to the verification of Paul’s assurance that there should be no loss of life. That two hundred and seventy-six men on a wreck should all be saved was very improbable, but the angel had promised, and Paul had believed that it should be ‘even so as it had been spoken unto him.’ Therefore the improbable came to pass, and every man of the ship’s company stood safe on the shore. Faith... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 28:1-10

Kindness Richly Repaid Acts 28:1-10 It is pleasant to read of the kindness of these Maltese. In humanity everywhere there are kindly traits, and often there will be ready help for the really destitute. Accidents are not punishments. The clinging of the viper to Paul’s hand was not an evidence of the anger of God, but was permitted in order to give these simple-hearted people an evidence which they would appreciate of God’s care for His own. How changeable is human opinion, shifting in a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 28:1-31

On land new perils threatened. While gathering sticks for a fire, a viper fastened on the apostle's hand. Shaking it off, he was unharmed. This convinced those who watched that he was divine, and they sought to worship him. Necessarily, Paul refused such homage. Three months Paul and his companions sojourned there, during which time they received kindness from the inhabitants, and Paul wrought healing, beginning in the house of the governor. After this long and tedious journey was... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:1-31

PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO ROME (19:21-28:31). Here we begin a new section of Acts. It commences with Paul’s purposing to go to Jerusalem, followed by an incident, which, while it brings to the conclusion his ministry in Ephesus, very much introduces the new section. From this point on all changes. Paul’s ‘journey to Jerusalem’ and then to Rome has begun, with Paul driven along by the Holy Spirit. The ending of the previous section as suggested by the closing summary in Acts 19:20... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:7

‘Now in the neighbourhood of that place were lands belonging to the first man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously.’ The title ‘first man of the island’ is known from archaeology to have been the title given to the Roman governor of Malta. His name was Publius. This may have been his official name as used of him by the islanders. He apparently had lands nearby and welcomed Paul and his companions, and no doubt the centurion, and the shipmaster... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:8

‘And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.’ While they were there Paul learned that Publius’ father was ill with intermittent fevers (plural) and dysentery and he went to his sick room and prayed, laying his hands on him and healing him. The power of the name of Jesus has come to Malta. The prayer before the laying on of hands is mentioned in Acts 6:6. Here it was necessary so that a... read more

‘And when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured, who also honoured us with many honours, and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.’ The natural result of this was that many people on the island brought their sick and they were all healed (a different word from Acts 28:8 but used elsewhere in Acts of Peter’s healings (Acts 5:16)). And as a result the people honoured them with many honours. They were received with complete... read more
