Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Others - which had diseases - Luke was a physician; yet we do not find him engaging in these cures. As a medical man, he might have been of use to the father of Publius; but he is not even consulted on the occasion. Paul enters in to him, prays for him, lays his hands on him, and he is healed. The other diseased persons who are mentioned in this verse were doubtless healed in the same way.

(5) So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
(5) Although Paul was a captive, yet the power of God was not captive.

So when this was done,.... This miracle was wrought, and the fame of it spread over the island:
others also which had diseases in the island came: from all parts of it, to the apostle:
and were healed; of whatsoever diseases they were afflicted with.

this . . . done, others . . . came and were healed--"kept coming to [us] and getting healed," that is, during our stay, not all at once [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
