Commentary on Acts 28:8

Theological / Devotional

It came to pass. That is, probably, later on during the winter.

Bloody flux. Gr. dusenteria, “dysentery.”

Prayed. See on James 5:14, 15. However, this seems to be a manifestation of the gift of healing (1 Cor. 12:9).

Healed him. Paul had exhibited the same power of the Spirit at Lystra (ch. 14:8-10), at Philippi (ch. 16:18), at Ephesus (ch. 19:11, 12), and at Troas (ch. 20:9, 10).
